YORK, PA – The York College women's track & field team battled the elements and seven other schools at Thursday's York College Twilight Meet at the Grumbacher Center. The meet featured snow flurries, biting winds and cold temps as the teams competed at York's lone home appearance of the 2021 campaign.

Sophomore Julia Pena led the Spartans again as she captured two more victories for the Green and White. Pena captured individual gold in the 100 hurdles and the long jump. Hayden Divers earned a win in the discus while Taylor Barkdoll posted a victory in the 3000 meter steeplechase.

The Spartans notched 14 top four finishes during the event.
