Mink stated that she’s looking forward to “[meeting] new people and [continuing her] love for track into college.”

Molli Lucas will attend IU East in the fall, where she will major in business administration. Lucas received both athletic and academic scholarships and will participate in shotput and discus events.

Danielle Yang will attend the California Institute of Technology, where she will pursue majors in computer science and information/data science, and a potential minor in economics. She will be a member of the university’s track and field team. Academically, Yang said she’s “most excited to work on this project called ‘the voting project’ that Caltech does with MIT under Dr. Alvarez, [which] works to improve voting processes and their modeling.” Yang is excited to “run track and be in the LA area during the World Cup and Olympics.”
