The Races
Junior Kevin McClanahan and freshman Jostyn Andrews opened up the meet with a 1-2 finish in the 600 meters. McClanahan took home first at 1:18.51, and Andrews logged a silver medal time of 1:20.46.

In the men's 60-meter dash, three Horned Frogs earned a spot in the finals. Senior Jalen Miller led the way in the prelims and held on to first place in the next round, but he had a little friendly competition right beside him.
