Palo Alto, Calif. / Austin, Texas – Closing a long weekend of competition, the Aggies returned to competition in four meets – the Bobcat Invitational, the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, the Texas Relays and the Stanford Invitational.
On the day, Aliyah Logan took fourth in the 100m hurdles, featuring a loaded field at the Texas Relays. At the Mike Fanelli Track Classic, the distance medley relay team posted a second-place finish, along with multiple personal bests throughout the multitude of meets.
Texas Relays
Returning to action for Saturday’s 100m hurdle finals, Aliyah Logan improved on her time in prelims, finishing in fourth place with a wind-assisted time of 13.03 seconds (+2.6 m/s).

The quartet of Terice Steen, Grace Pendarvis, Jhana Downie and Mickaliliah Vasell was slated to compete in the 4×400 finals alongside programs like TCU, Arkansas and Texas Tech, but were a late scratch.
Bobcat Invitational

Stanford Invitational
Late Friday night, Maggie Gibbs and Emily Stutesman took part in the 10,000m run at the Stanford Invitational, providing stellar performances. Stutesman would finish with a time of 34:05.98, the second-fastest time in NM State history.
Maggie Gibbs already held the NM State record in the event with a time of 34:13.56, set at the 2022 WAC Track & Field Championships, but would shatter that mark in Palo Alto. Crossing the line with a time of 33:55.79, the Peoria, Ariz., native bested herself and set a new school record.
