There was no shortage of top performances for Eastern Washington track and field in Spokane as the team earned seven wins at the Buc Scoring-Combined Events Meet. Eastern completed the two-day meet on Friday (March 24) and finished with 28 athletes total on the podium.

"We had good effort for meet number two. The weather was not great, but this is typical early spring PNW weather and we grinded and got some things done today," Director of Track and Field Erin Tucker said. "The PR train was back with about 20 PRs so we are getting better in the rain, sleet, snow, and shine. Yes we had it all over the last two days! I am happy with where are right now; we are building and having fun. Now we get a week off from school to train and fix some things and get ready for the rest of the outdoor season."
