Woods, a jumper from Charlotte, N.C., narrowly bested her school record in the triple jump, extending the tape 11.46 (37'7.25") meters and taking first overall with her fifth leap of the night. The rookie set the mark of 11.45-meters (37'5") at the Wake Forest Invitational on Jan. 21 at JDL.

The Wildcats opened the day with a pair of personal records in the 3k. Junior Laurel Sheffield crossed the line in 10:27.31 to smash her previous PR by over 25 seconds. The Lexington, Va., native took third overall. Senior Caroline Turner snapped her career best by just over four seconds with a time of 10:33.02 and turning in the sixth fastest time of the day. Freshman Susannah Cate took third in the mile with a time of 5:09.92.
