Zukley has been a staple in the throws for the Seahawks but had her best weight throw outing this season. Her best toss came at the Scarlet Knight Open hosted by Arcadia as she hurled the weight 15.31m. The toss was good enough for sixth in the region and she’d later go on to take gold in the event at the Conference Championships.

Schleig had a banner year in her first collegiate campaign which culminated in her earning Rookie of the Year honors at the United East Championships. Her top mark in the triple jump came at the George Mason Patriot Games in which she hopped 11.15m. This leap ranked fourth in the Region. 

Owens was a big part of the Seahawk success this season which ended with her being tabbed the United East Track Athlete of the Year. The senior’s top time came in the final meet of the season (AARTFC Indoor Championships) where she crossed the finish line with a time of 58.11. That time was the fourth best in the Region. Owens clinched first place in both the 400m and the 200m at the United East Indoor Championships.

Bruner was outstanding all season long, earning the title of United East Field Athlete of the Year. The junior leapt a height of 1.60m this season at the NCCAA Indoor Championships, which put her in a tie for seventh in the Region. Her efforts during the United East Championships this season also earned her a golf in the event along with another gold in the long jump
