DES MOINES, Iowa – Gonzaga women's track continued their week at the Drake Relays on Friday, as Willow Collins competed in the 1500-meters as the only Bulldog in action for the women.
 
Collins placed eighth overall and finished in 4:20.51 in the seeded heat on Friday, just two seconds shy of her season best 4:18.28 from the Stanford Invitational earlier this month.
