Coach Johnson's comments: "Saturday was a good opportunity to get some of the rust off after long layoff. Erica and Kamryn got us off to a great start as Erica auto-qualified for nationals and Kamryn hit a PR just a few inches shy of the minimum for nationals. Jayla closed the day well for us with her own national qualifier in the weight throw."
