Gaines captures her fourth consecutive Road Runner Sports NEC Women’s Rookie of the Week award following a trio of top-four finishes at the annual Metropolitan Championships. Surging into the NEC lead in the 60-meter dash (7.52), Gaines claimed silver by clocking in well below the ECAC qualifying standard. She later added a ECAC qualifying mark in the long jump with her fourth-place distance of 5.79m (19’). Her triple jump mark 11.54m (37-10.50) ranks third in the NEC and placed her fourth at the championship meet.
