TCU Track & Field Shows Out At The Alumni Muster Meet.
TCU showed out this last meet with some phenomenal performances. They showed everyone there that they can compete with anyone. Five meet records, a facility record, and two TCU school records highlighted the day for the Frogs as they competed at the Alumni Muster. Having that kind of performance and show out for the Frogs was good. TCU needs this kind of momentum going into the Big 12 Championship meet.
The schools that were competing in this meet were: Texas A&M, Houston Baptist, Lamar, LeTourneau University, Louisiana Tech, Oklahoma, Rice, Sam Houston State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas A&M-Kingsville, UT Arlington, UTRGV, UT-San Antonio.
Here are the stellar performances that happened at the Alumni Muster meet:
Those guys are cooking with hot kitchen grease! The 4x100 team broke the meet and facility record with a time of 38.75. The squad of Bryson Stubblefield, Tinotenda Matiyenga, Kundai Maguranyanga, and Robert Gregory Jr. won the race and ran the fourth-fastest time in the NCAA this season.
She did it again! In the 800m, Gracie Morris broke her second outdoor school record in two weeks with her time of 2:05.38. She won her heat and broke the meet record as well.
Devin Roberson shattered his personal-best throw of the season in the discus with a mark of 58.19m (190-11). He moved up to third on TCU's all-time records list and broke the meet record.
He's Back! Chengetayi (Du) Mapaya made his outdoor debut and did not disappoint. The senior jumped a 16.19m (53-1.50) to win the event, break the meet record and record the T-No. 9 mark in the NCAA this season.
In the men's 5K, Lakelin Conrad ran a personal-best time of 14:23.89 to break the meet record and finish first overall.
