...dust and get back into competing,” Christensen said. “I jumped kind of how I expected. I jumped about the same as I did at the first meet the last two years.” Senior Danielle Mirabal won the 55-meter dash, finishing in 7.30 seconds, while freshman Cassandra Bowe was the top performer from a very strong freshman class, winning the 800 meters in a time of 2:21.02.
