Williams Leads the Charge

Freshman Laila Williams showcased her versatility, competing in three events:

• 100m – 13.64
• 100m Hurdles – 18.53
• 200m – 29.34

Taking on both sprinting and hurdles in the same meet reflects the type of athlete—and mindset—the Lady Stallions are developing.

Gonzalez Anchors the Mid-Distance Group

Sophomore Elina Gonzalez continued to provide consistency for NAU, competing in both:

• 400m – 1:08.71
• 800m – 2:57.86

Her ability to double back across events highlights the endurance and commitment that define this roster.

More Than Results—It's About Growth

While some events saw DNS marks, the willingness to enter multiple disciplines shows a team that is still developing, still learning, and still pushing forward.

That matters.

Because programs on the rise aren't built overnight—they're built through reps, through races, and through resilience.

Women's Team Takeaway

This is a group laying the foundation. Each meet, each race, each event adds another layer to what this program is becoming.

And if you're paying attention—you can see the progress.
