RALEIGH, N.C. — Senior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) continued her streak of taking down school records and etching her name in the record books on Friday afternoon as she and sophomore Taylor Lavey (New Baltimore, Mich./Findlay) represented the No. 6-ranked Ohio Northern women's outdoor track and field team at the 2018 Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C.
Richards finished third overall in the 1,500-meter run in the Division I-dominated field of runners, finishing in 4:15.77.

We all know this to be true. The hard part is achieving it, right?
Whether that’s our physical balance (how steady are we on our feet?) or our “life” balance (how well are we doing at managing our time?), we sometimes feel like a prisoner to our current situation.
Let’s be honest, the physical balance piece may be the “easier” one to work on. We need balance for so many of the things we do every day (getting dressed, getting in and out of the car, etc.).
