Missouri track and field's outdoor season began last Friday with the Yellow Jacket Invitational. The following Thursday, the Tigers traveled to Raleigh, N.C., to compete in the Raleigh Relays.

Two Tigers logged top-20 finishes on Day 1 of the Raleigh Relays. Junior Drew Rogers won the men's 10,000-meter run with a time of 28:14.27. Rogers' time is a new school record for the outdoor season.

Additionally, sophomore Joshua Allison earned 20th place in the men's 3,000 steeple (8:51.66).

Though Missouri did not place very high in many events, it still had a successful day. One way the Tigers saw success was by setting personal bests. Three Tigers earned personal bests.

Senior Trevor Peimann set a personal best in the men's 3,000 steeple (9:04.07). Sophomore Brenden Heitzig achieved a personal best time of 14:12.75 in the men's 5,000, while junior Austin Popplewell set a personal best in the men's 10,000 in 29:18.89.

Junior Tyler Freiner earned the third-best time in school history in the 10,000 (29:03.18). Freshman Jamie Mora earned the third-best time in school history in the 5,000 in 14:00.51, and Popplewell's 10,000 time marked the fifth-fastest time.

The Raleigh Relays will continue on Friday with the field events beginning at 8:45 a.m. and the running events at 10:45 a.m.
