"Our coaches always say if you don't finish, you might not get there," Goedken said. "For me, it's about team points. I'm glad I did really well, but I scored points for my team and I'm excited."
The 4x100 relay crew of Larson, Kramer, Roselyn Hancock and Smith booked a silver medal performance in 50.01 seconds. The 4x400 team of Goedken, Tessa Leytem, Betsy Duehr and the Grand Valley State-bound Janecke closed the meet with a silver medal run of 3:58.21.
