IOWA CITY, Iowa – Arizona Track and Field wrapped up their second meet of the 2020 indoor season on Saturday at the Larry Wieczorek Invitational.
Day One Highlights
Sophomore PJ Austin won the men's long jump with a PR mark of 7.55m (24-9.25), which is the tenth best mark in the NCAA.
Sophomore James Smith clocked a PR of 1:17.69 in the 600-meter run to finish fourth and give him the second fastest 600m time in Arizona indoor track and field history. Also in the 600m, junior Shannon Meisberger placed second with a time of 1:31.63, the sixth best mark in the NCAA.
Senior Justice Summerset took second in the men's high jump with a mark of 2.15m (7-0.5), which is the 15th best mark in the NCAA.
Junior Israel Oloyede won the men's weight throw competition with a throw of 20.44m (67-0.75), giving him the 17th best mark in the NCAA.
Day Two Highlights
James Smith set a PR in the 400m dash with a time of 48.05 leading him to a second place finish.
In his first race of the 2020 season, redshirt senior Carlos Villarreal won the one mile run with a time of 4:00.64.
Redshirt junior Jennie Baragar-Petrash clocked a time of 9:41.97 to win the women's 3k.
Junior Katie Daily set a new PR of 3.95m (12-11.5) in the pole vault to finish third.
"I'm really pleased about where we are at," said head Track and Field coach Fred Harvey. "We had a couple setbacks and things we had to make smart decisions on, but with that being said, the performances today were great. Jennie really dominated in the 3k and did a great job and Carlos ran the mile almost under four minutes. We have seen the sprinters and hurdlers do what they do, but we wanted to see what our distance runners could do. Our freshman Camron Herron also ran very well. I'm very pleased with what we did there. It was a great overall day."
The Wildcats will be back in action on January 24 where they will travel to Lubbock, Texas for the Red Raider Classic.
