The WSU Open/Invite & Multi's follows up the Wildcats' two competitions last weekend at Texas Tech and Washington. The events in Lubbock, Texas were highlighted by
Talie Bonds lowering her own school record in the 60m hurdles, which she set in the first meet of the year, to finish second overall. Additionally,
Jordan Geist won both the men's shot put and men's weight throw. His shot put toss of 21.48m from earlier in the year still remains the 10th best throw in NCAA History.
Katie Daily and
Alexa Porpaczy also had top-three finishes in Lubbock, with Daily placing second in the women's pole vault and Porpaczy finishing third in the women's long jump. In Seattle,
Iker Sanchez Lopez was the team's top finisher, placing 10th in the men's mile. Overall, the team combined to set over 20 new personal bests at both meets.
The men's team comes into the weekend ranked 26th in the USTFCCCA rankings, barely missing out on another week in the Top 25.
