Chloe Timberg, the women's pole vault reigning Big Ten Champion, is set to defend her gold medal entering this weekend's competition with the No. 2 ranked mark in the conference.
 
"This is probably one of the most exciting Big Ten meets I've experienced so far," said Timberg. "With more schools joining our conference, the caliber of competition has skyrocketed. It's going to be a battle to defend the title, but that pressure is a privilege."
 
The Scarlet Knights' other defending conference champion is Celine-Jada Brown who captured gold in the women's long jump last season. She ranked in the top-10 in the event entering the weekend and is poised to make another run at the podium's top spot.
 
"I'm feeling blessed and grateful that God is giving me this opportunity," said Brown. "I've been pushing through some adversity, as everyone does, and I'm excited to see what he has in store for me this weekend."
