Members of the men’s track and field team participated in the University of Texas Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays and the Texas State University Bobcat Invitational 2023 this past weekend.

Head Coach Patrick Torres commented, “This was a huge weekend for our men’s team. We secured two more individual “A” standards from Julian Verastegui and Jalen Bell. Another relay qualified for nationals with our 4x400m relay team. It was a very exciting weekend for OLLU track.”
