1. LOOKING BACK: Three Badgers picked up top finishes over the weekend in California. Taylor Amann became only the second Badger to clear the 14-0 bar in the pole vault. This mark earned her the gold finish as well as the No.1 mark in the Big Ten. Georgia Ellenwood also picked up a win in the heptathlon, where her score of 5,983 points broke her own UW record. Her score was the top score in the NCAA last week and broke her own school record in the event. In addition, Ellenwood's score puts her No. 4 in the world this year. In the discus, Hanna Barton finished No. 1 with a throw of 168-8. The junior holds the No. 3 throw in school history behind only Olympian Kelsey Card and All-American Taylor Smith.
