NEW YORK, N.Y.—Pitt’s 4x200M relay places third in a two-day meet, as the University of Pittsburgh women’s track and field team competed in the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at the Armory Track and Field Center. No team scores were available.

In another ECAC performance, Brown posted a 56.94 finish in the 400M dash and senior Brianna Broyles turned in an 8.79 finish in the 60M hurdles.
