FROM COACH KROLICK
"Great start to the 2023 season. We pride ourselves on having one of the best groups of multi-athletes in the country and our girls showed exactly that. Proud of the work Coach Pesic has done to build and develop this group of women. They achieved seven all-time top 10 marks in the pentathlon in Queens History including marks 2-6. Lucy Walliker set the ASUN record in the high jump. Cerys Lee improved her lifetime best by 395 points. Just incredible efforts for a season debut. Excited to see where we are by the ASUN Championships in late February. Also, ready to see the rest of the group compete tomorrow at South Carolina."
