Arizona Women Win Jim Click Shootout

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona Track and Field wrapped up the Jim Click Multi's and Shootout on Saturday night at Drachman Stadium. The women's team won the event while the men placed second overall. The Wildcats' team success was built by the long list of top performances on the day. Jordan Geist and Talie Bonds led the way for the Wildcats as they both broke Arizona school records during Saturday's competition.

"As I promised all the coaches, this was going to be a highlight of all of our seasons, starting with the banquet last night," said Head Coach Fred Harvey. "The competition level this week was off the charts, and it started with the stadium record in the 100m hurdles for the ladies with Talie Bonds. The beautiful thing about these types of performances in our program is that it leads to us winning the trophy on the women's side. Winning it at the margin we did was also really special, and we're really excited about that outcome. The men competed at a super high level as well."
