The William & Mary women's track & field team got the weekend started at Penn State's National Open on Friday evening, with all four entries finishing in the top-12 of their events.  The Tribe's four athletes were in two events, the pole vault and the triple jump.

Live Results

- First, in the vault, junior Taylor E. Jones (Fairfax Station, Va.) led the way in sixth place overall, clearing the bar at 3.52m (11-6.5).  Senior Lauren Graves (Fredericksburg, Va.) also cleared the same height, but finished tied for seventh on the basis of attempts.  Redshirt-junior Sophie Caplan (Clarksville, Md.) topped 11 feet for the third-straight meet, and tied for 11th at 3.37m (11-0.75).

- Later in the evening, senior Alexis Brender a Brandis (Williamsburg, Va.) competed in the triple jump, hitting the sand at 11.59m (38-0.25) for 12th overall.  That was also the 12th-longest jump indoors in school history, and just two centimeters off her personal indoor-best set earlier this season at Navy.
