Rookie standout Nico Weiler continued to dominate his competition, finishing second at the prestigious Drake Relays with a pole vault of 5.30 meters. At the Penn Relays, Gillespie qualified for the NCAA regionals by clocking in at 14:01.99 to finish fifth in the 5K run. At the outdoor Heps championships, senior Shannon Flahive capped off her career by winning the heptathlon in dominating fashion—185 points ahead...
