Coach’s Comments: Last year’s only All-
America performer, Alison is ready to follow
in the footsteps of some of Kutztown’s great
hammer/weight throwers. She should go out in
style in her senior season with the adoption of
the hammer as a new PSAC championship event.

Coach’s Comments: Talia had a solid year in
her new event, the 400 hurdles. Her 65.55 in
the hurdle trials at PSACs was a great start, but
she’s got a lot of improvement left.

Coach’s Comments: Chrissy finally gets a
chance to throw the hammer at PSACs this year.
