The men’s track and field team opened its season at the Crimson & Gold Invitational hosted by Pittsburg State University.
Head Coach Brett Charlton commented, “The men’s team had a good showing and gained a lot of experience for a young team. Malik White set the school record in the 0m hurdles and De’Jon Lewis jumped very well, barely missing the National standard. Richard Davis also set the school record in the 600 yards. I’m excited to see them progress as the season continues.”
The men’s track and field team performance at the University of Texas at San Antonio Invitational on March 15-16 included four events that qualify for nationals. The meet featured NCAA D1 schools from throughout the country.
Head Coach Patrick Torres commented, “We had a lot of good things happen especially on the sprints and hurdles side. Our relay team Jayden in the 400m hurdles and Jalen in the 100m and 200m qualified for nationals in very convincing fashion. It was just an overall good early season meet.”
The men’s 4x100m relay team consisting of Spencer Williams, Jesus Riefkohl Delgado, Jimmie Salas and Jalen Bell placed second and qualified for nationals with a time of 40.95.
Jayden Erikewe placed fourth in the 400m hurdles and qualified for nationals with a time of 54.13.
