The University of North Texas track and field team had an impressive showing over the weekend, competing in the New Mexico Team Open and the UW Invite. The team broke a total of five program records, with standout performances from athletes like Trezeguet Taylor, Aariyana Williams, and London Culbreath.
Why it matters
Breaking five program records in a single weekend, especially after facing challenging training conditions due to icy weather, suggests a high level of dedication and potential for continued success throughout the season for the UNT track and field team.
The details
At the New Mexico Team Open, sophomore Trezeguet Taylor broke her own program record in the 60 meters with a time of 7.35 seconds. The women's 400-meter race saw Kendahl Tucker initially set a new benchmark of 53.50 seconds, before being surpassed by teammate Aariyana Williams, who now holds the program record at 52.79 seconds. The women's 4x400 relay team also broke the program record for the second consecutive meet with a time of 3:41.13. At the UW Invite, distance runner London Culbreath set a new program record in the 3,000 meters, finishing in 9:22.60. Chase Lehr also improved upon his personal best, breaking his own record in the 800 meters with a time of 1:47.35.
