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).
Jhana Downie finished with a time of 23.37 in the 200m dash as the lone NM State entrant in the event.
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
Cameron Hodges competed in the triple jump at the Bobcat Invitational held in San Marcos, Texas, on Saturday, posting a best mark of 11.46m (37-7.25″).
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.
Another late-breaking result on Friday night saw Thomas Croshaw take first in his section of the 5000m run, posting a new personal best with a time of 14:33.36.
Competing in the same event – though different sections – Thobile Amon and Thulisile Amon ran in the 800m. The former would finish with a time of 2:09.68 to finish second in her heat, and the latter Amon sister would record a final time of 2:11.09.
