WACO, Texas — Benjamin Kirbo's pole vault win highlighted a strong first day for TCU at the Michael Johnson Invitational on Friday.

Kirbo shattered his personal best with his winning height of 5.40m (17-8.50). Not only is it the new outdoor school record, his mark also ties him for No. 12 in the nation this season.

Iyana Gray won the women's 200m with her time of 23.11 (2.1w). Teanna Harlin (23.75) added a top 10 finish as well as she tied for seventh.

Also notching a win was London Culbreath in the women's 5,000m. Culbreath (16:56.72) is now the back-to-back champion after winning the 5,000m at the Michael Johnson Invitational last season as well.

Peyton McQuillan (17:05.40) and Mariana Martinez (17:05.71) finished second and third in the women's 5,000m, respectively.
