Women’s indoor relay qualifies for nationals at New Mexico meet

The OLLU women’s 4X400 relay team set a school record and qualified for nationals this past weekend at the University of New Mexico Collegiate Classic.

Aziza Clark ran the 60m hurdles with a NAIA “B” Standard time of 8.99, while the 4x400m relay team of Morghan Neely, Autumn Roberts, Aziza Clark and Alexandria Segura set the school record at 3:58.44.

Head Coach Patrick Torres commented, “I feel like the relay qualifying is extra special because of how elusive 4×400 qualifying has been for us as a team in the past. Aziza Clark getting a B in the hurdles added to the great feeling we left the track with.”
