PORTLAND, Ore.- Carley Huber of the Central Washington University track & field team earned GNAC honors this week after a phenomenal showing at the Riverfront Invitational. Huber placed third in the women's pentathlon with a total of 3,316 points and anchored the winning women's 4x400-meter relay team.
 
QUOTING HEAD COACH JONATHAN HILL
"Carley wanted a practice run at the pent before GNAC's, so we took a little gamble and ran through one. This is great feedback that we are on the right track, because we left there thinking we had left some points on the board. She came back and broke the school record in the 4x400 meters, and it was a great weekend for her on her way to even more."
