BROCKPORT, NY – After completing half of their scheduled events on Sunday, five University of Rochester track and field athletes completed their multi-event competitions on Monday afternoon at Shriver Stadium at SUNY Brockport with exceptional results that ended in a pair of wins and three top-15 NCAA scores.

She started Monday's action by breaking the Rochester school record in the long jump, posting a mark of 5.78 meters to exceed the previous UR record set by Lonnie Garrett back in 2019 (5.67m). Heffernan's jump is currently fifth best in Division III.
 
After that, Heffernan placed third in the javelin with a personal-best toss of 27.52 meters and finished off the competition with a win in the 800 meters, crossing the finish in 2:21.39, an outdoor PR.
