DENTON, Texas -- Victoria Wilson, Heather Shaw, Peyton Chaney and Nat Ferdi set new personal bests as women's outdoor track and field battled some tough elements to earn a successful day at the Bill Schmidt Classic in Denton on the campus of the University of North Texas. 

Wilson's new personal best came in the high jump, as she hit 1.50m (4' 11), inching ever closer to the program record. Shaw's came in the 100m, as she ran a speedy 13.46.
