RESULTS | FRIDAY'S HEAT SHEETS
AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's and women's track and field teams competed at the 86th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays on Thursday, hosted by the University of Texas. The men's 4x800 meter relay team broke the school record while five Islanders clocked new personal-best times at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
"Overall we did some really good things and anytime we can move significantly up on the all-time list is a good outing," Head Coach Shawn Flanagan said. "The men's 4x800 relay team was really good along with the men's steeplechase and both men's and women's 10k races. We had some good performances all around and we will continue to drive on tomorrow."
Valentinas Rudys, Cordarius Edmondson, Brandon Lacy and Bryce Johnston highlighted the day in the men's 4x800 meter relay. The four teamed up to break the school record with a school-best time of 7:37.95 to finish in fourth place, which topped last season's top time of 7:38.56 set by Rudys, Lacy, Paul Hansel and Edmondson at the Texas Relays.
Philipp Baar and Daniel Barlow competed in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Baar clocked a personal-best time of 9:06.63 to place fourth in his heat and 12th overall. His time is good for second all-time in Islanders history. Barlow followed with a time of 9:49.08.
In the women's 1500m, Jasmine Boutte crossed the line with a time of 4:46.96 while Hansel clocked a season-best time of 3:59.34.
William Scott started the day in the men's 400m hurdles with a personal-best time of 53.87 (second all-time) to place second in his heat. His time tops his personal-best mark of 53.94 set at the Victor Lopez Classic in 2012.
The Islanders wrapped the day in the men's and women's 10k. Justin Adame and Christoph Hintz posted personal-best times in the men's 10k. Adame finished in 11th place with a time of 31:25.81, which is good for second place all-time. Hintz followed in 19th place with a time of 32:19.80.
