Bridget Kosky, Ryleigh Garrow, and Laura O'Brien recorded individual wins on the women's side, while Kayla Myers recorded two.Â

VALENTINE INVITE
The Track and Tennis Center has been kind to the Catamounts this season and in the past, as Alex Siaton and Gabby Rausa set school records there this year, and numerous others have set personal bests. Last year at this meet, Vermont had five athletes set personal bests. Rachel Barba, Heidi Stewart, and Carolyn Doyle will all compete in the 800 starting at 11:05 am on Friday.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
The Catamounts competed at the Scarlet Knight Open for two days at the Armory in New York City. On the first day, the 4x200 meter relay team set the UVM record at 1:29.69. Lily Porth and James Cilwik also ran top-10 program times as well. Six other Catamounts recorded top-10 finishes. Day two brought six top-10 finishes from Vermont, including a personal best in the 800 of 2:14.00 by Barba, which stands as the fastest 800 in America East this season.Â
