EWING, N.J. – The TCNJ women's track and field team left no doubt on the second and final day of the NJAC Outdoor Championship, pulling away from Rowan and the rest of the field to defend its conference crown by a comfortable margin.

Amanda Demko (400), Maria Grill (200), Valandra Riggins (100), and Alli Uhl (800) all paired an individual title with a relay victory for the Lions, who piled up points across the board in a convincing double to their indoor championship from the winter campaign.

Victoria Purritano won the 400-meter hurdles while Zoe Iovino (triple jump) and Nicole Lester (pole vault) each secured an individual victory in the field as TCNJ finished with 245 team points to outdistance second-place Rowan by 53 points.

Ashlyn MacLure, Demko, Grill, and Riggins needed every bit of their breakneck pace to hold off Ramapo in an exhilarating 4x100 final, edging out Ramapo by .03 seconds with a time of 47.13. That clocking is the second-best in program history, trailing only the national championship mark of 47.01 from 2005 on the all-time charts, and currently places the quartet seventh in all of Division III.

Riggins vaulted up to fifth on TCNJ's all-time list with a first-place time of 12.09 seconds in the 100-meter dash, crossing the finish line one-hundredth of a second ahead of Rutgers-Newark's Zrreyah Moore. Ashlyn MacLure landed in seventh at 12.47.

Demko defended her 400-meter dash title from last season with a stirring run of 56.15 seconds, good for fifth in program history and 11^th in Division III. Grill's runner-up time of 56.48 is 14^th in the nation, while Erin Hanlon (59.94) and Erin Buquicchio (1:00.45) finished sixth and seventh, respectively.

Grill got her gold in the 200-meter dash, finishing in 24.92 seconds to edge Rowan's Promise Fadahunsi by .02 seconds with the eighth-best clocking in school history. Grill's time is good for 35^th in Division III. She led four TCNJ place-winners in the event, with MacLure claiming third in a career-best 25.19, Demko taking fifth in 25.39, and Riggins going for sixth in 25.46.

Purritano and Bruncaj found themselves in a dead heat for the 400-meter hurdles title, with the former ultimately nipping her rookie teammate by .08 seconds with a time of 1:05.10 to claim her first conference title after placing second in the event last spring. Sameerah Khan gave the Lions three in the top-four with a fourth-place time of 1:09.03.

Uhl made it a personal outdoor three-peat in the 800 meters with a dominating race, her winning time of 2:13.26 landing just outside the national top-25 and giving Uhl more than six seconds of cushion ahead of runner-up Tayana Gibson of PSU-Harrisburg.

Iovino defended her outdoor triple jump crown with a mark of 10.89 meters on her fourth attempt, narrowly surpassing PSU-Harrisburg's Starr Williams by a quarter of an inch. Meghan Macaluso placed fourth with a career-best 10.43 meters.

Lester, meanwhile, became the first TCNJ pole vault champion since Lauren Pfeiffer in 2008, clearing 3.50 meters on her third and final attempt to complete her pole vault double following a conference title at the indoor meet. Michelle Meyers placed sixth at 2.90 meters.

Abigail Pfaff took snagged third place in the high jump with a top mark of 1.55 meters.

Bruncaj finished third in the 100-meter hurdles at 15.01 seconds, with Purritano taking fourth in a personal-best 15.07.

Jazzlyn Diaz (4:54.07) and Salini Iyer (5:00.51) finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 1500 meters.

Elizabeth Askin was sixth in the 5,000 meters (19:28.69), where Cassidy Quinn finished eighth in 19:32.64 and Jenna Priore ninth at 19:35.79.

Edith Gonzalez notched a personal-best throw of 11.77 meters to take fifth in the shot put. Kerri McCarthy placed sixth at 11.69 meters and Jessica Reilly landed in seventh with a personal-best 11.52 meters.

Emily Diszler placed sixth in the discus at 35.67 meters, with Reilly just out of scoring range in ninth (32.04m) and Jean Walter right behind in 10^th (31.95m).

The Lions made it a relay double on the final event of the championship as Hanlon, Uhl, Buquicchio, and Riggins won the 4x400 in 3:58.68.
