DAYTONA BEACH, FL. – The Augusta University women's track team competed in the Peach Belt Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships Friday and Saturday at the ERAU Track Complex. Four different Jaguars registered new school records during the weekend.
From Head Coach Adam Ward
"I'm very proud of our folks who competed at the PBC championships this weekend. Our Women's team, despite being an extremely small team all season, really showed up and competed with tenacity and purpose. We had no less than 5 school records broken by both programs (4 for the women) and multiple all-conference student athletes. A honor that has to be earned, not voted on or given to them. Plus, Priscilla and Hans winning individual conference championships is truly special and something to be celebrated."
