LUBBOCK, Texas – TCU track and field finished competition at the Texas Tech Shootout on Saturday where several Horned Frogs took top honors and recorded season-best times and marks inside the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock.
MEN'S 4X400
The top highlight from the competition on Saturday saw Darrion Flowers, Emmanuel Ogwo, Tino Matiyenga and Derrick Mokaleng improve their season time in the men's 4x400 meter relay to 3:07.28 and take first in the event. This marks the first win in the event all season after finishing second at the Texas A&M Triangular and the Reveille Invitational.
LONG JUMP
Destiny Longmire continued her strong streak in long jump as the junior took first place for the second straight week with a season-best 6.28 meter (20-7.25) jump on her third attempt. Patrick Sylla made his TCU debut in long jump and posted a 7.37 meter (24-2.25) jump to take fourth place.
INDIVIDUAL HIGHLIGHTS
Senior Lily Beckford rounded out the list of winners on Saturday by taking the top spot in the women's 600-yard run with a time of 1:20.07. It was the first time the London native had competed in the event all season.
TCU had two runners finish in the top four in the men's 200 meter run with Flowers taking second with a time of 21.05 and Matiyenga taking fourth with a time of 21.14.
COACH'S THOUGHTS
"We had a good weekend," head coach Darryl Anderson said. "The men's 4x400 ran well, Destiny (Longmire) and Patrick (Sylla) did well in the long jump, and our 200m men ran well. We progressed this weekend and weather permitting, we'll continue to improve and prepare for conference."
UP NEXT
TCU will use the next two weeks to prepare for the 2019 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships that will take place Feb. 22-23 and see the Frogs return to the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock.
