Day two of our initial Pac-12 Championships ended with our first PR of the meet. Senior Bree LeRoy compiled 5221 points which was good for seventh place overall. Her long jump was solid (18-9.25). However, she had an off day in the javelin and that likely cost her a place or two in the overall standings. She finished with a lifetime best (2:29) in the 800 meters. Her score is third all time at Utah. To come back in the 800 the way she did is a testament to her toughness and ability to overcome a setback. The multi events are tough that way. One event your setting the world on fire and the very next event the smallest thing isn't quite right and your momentum swings the other way. Most people don't understand how important the mental side of the multis really is. It is two long days of competition that requires a lot of focus, patience, and confidence. The remainder of the meet will take place back in Eugene, OR next weekend (May 5-6). Check back throughout the week and during the meet for more updates.
