Staten Island, N.Y. -- Ava Roberts and Marie Abongwa each took a home a gold and a pair of podiums, while Enazajah Young broke the school record in the 60 meter hurdles in her first career race as the UMBC Women's Track & Field team began its Indoor season on Saturday night. 

Abongwa handily won the weight throw with a career-best distance of 17.00m, good for fourth all-time in UMBC history, and also secured the bronze in the shot put (13.63m)

Roberts, who had not competed in indoor since the 2024 America East Indoor Championships, made a brilliant return to action as she easily won the shot put (15.01m) and came in second in the weight throw (16.58m). The shot put was the fourth-best mark in Retriever history, while the weight throw distance was the eighth-best in program history. 

Young broke a 16-year-old record as she blew out the competition in a time of 8.50. The freshman also took fourth overall in the 60 meter dash minutes later (7.64), the third-fastest time in UMBC history.

Anna Creel took home bronze in the 300 meter dash in 39.60 and took silver in the 4x400 relay along with Lily Bandy, Dalyce Schmidt and Leanne McDonald in a time of 3:48.28. 

UMBC will next compete in Virginia Beach at the VCU Invite on January 9.
