HIGHLIGHTS

Laura Taylor opened Thursday with a personal-best time of 17:44.46 in the women's 5,000 meters, finishing 10th in a field of 50 runners. She is now ranked sixth in the Tiger record books in the event, and is Trinity's fastest-ever first-year student-athlete in the 5k.

On Friday, Taylor came in at #19 in the 1,500 meters, a little more than a second from her personal record.
