The Emory University women's track & field team saw two more athletes capture conference titles on day two of the 2016 Outdoor UAA Championships held at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. The Emory women finished in second with 173 points.

The Emory women's team registered two event championships on Sunday to go along with senior Alexandra Aiello's win in the triple jump on Saturday. Freshman Ariana Newhouse set a new UAA record as well as a school record, taking first in the 400m Dash at 55.71, and freshman Dani Bland placed first in the 100m Dash, clocking in at 12.21. Newhouse scored another All-UAA honor in the 200m Dash, finishing second with a time of 25.65. Bland added All-UAA honors to her ledger as part of the second place 4x100 Relay team (47.99) comprised of freshman Dilys Osei, sophomore Julia Leventhal and Aiello.

The Eagles recorded 11 All-UAA honors all together on Sunday afternoon, giving the team 14 over the course of the two days. Sophomore Erica Goldman was narrowly edged out by Newhouse in the 400m Dash as Goldman finished at 55.81, a time that also bested the previous UAA and Emory record. Aiello registered her third All-UAA certificate in 2016, placing third in the triple jump with a mark of 10.89m. Sophomore Gabrielle Stravach took third in 1500m Run at 4:43.87. Osei came in second in 100m Hurdles, finishing with a time of 14.90.
