Grant led the way, scoring victories in the shot put, the hammer throw, and placing second in the discus.
"[Nicky] is really powerful," Taylor said. "She has been working on events, like the shot put, that she hasn't been doing for a while, and it's showing."
Grant won the shot put with a 13.36-meter throw after a 13.35-meter effort last weekend.
"I've sort picked it up during spring break," Grant said. "It's been going surprisingly well, and I should be able to score at Heps."
But her most invigorating performance came in the hammer throw. Grant unleashed a 52.40-meter throw that buried her previous personal best by over two meters.
"That fired everyone up," Taylor said of Grant's victory, which led off the meet. "She beat [Yale's Melanie Harris], who's everyone's rival. That was an upset."
Harris placed second with a 51.34-meter throw which was also her season-best in the hammer. Grant avenged February's disappointing loss to Harris at the Indoor Heps weight throw.
"It was great to have such a good showing at home," Grant said. "After what happened last time, I just wanted to remind her that it wouldn't end up that way again."
