Senior thrower Thanithia Billings got the year started right by setting the school record in the weight throw, a mark of over 63 feet. She also won the shot put. Another double winner was junior sprinter Eileen Moran who captured wins in the both the 60- and 300-meter dashes. Freshman Imani Oliver won the triple jump her first time out. Sophomore Tory Worthen continued her reign in the pole vault, winning with a mark of 3.90 meters and classmate Greta Feldman won the mile at 5:08.90, 10 seconds faster than the runner-up. Rookie Kristin Smoot bested 27 other runners in the 600 with a time of 1:35.08 and classmate Molly Higgins won the 1,000 as Princeton went 1-2-3-4 with a time of 3:01.01.
