PROVO, Utah — The BYU track and field men's and women's multis had a combined six event wins on day one of the Robison Invitational at the Clarence F. Robison Track and Field Complex.
"Today was a very fun day to coach," said multis/jumps coach Tiffany Hogan. "Each one of my athletes had new personal bests in multiple events, and all of them had a new best in their first day totals. I am excited to see what day two brings for my heptathletes and decathletes."
Zoey Bonds started the women's heptathlon off taking first overall in the 100-meter hurdles. She took the win with a time of 13.85, while also crafting a new personal best. Bonds also went on to take second in both the high jump and 200-meter dash.

"I’m happy with my performances today and specifically in the hurdles and 200-meter," said Taylor. "Those times have seemed to be a long time coming. I am super excited to compete tomorrow as day two consists of more of my strengths. I hope to put up a big final score.”
