LAST TIME OUT
The Jackrabbits were firing on all cylinders with meets at Texas State, MSU Moorhead, Wayne State and Grand Valley State last weekend. Over the course of four days, two school records were broken and several Jackrabbits turned in double PRs with many more recording other personal-best marks. Coby Hilton recorded the fastest 200 time of his career when he clocked a 20.63 at the Bobcat Classic and chipped away at his own school record. At the Grand Valley State Extra Meet, Joshua Yeager broke SDSU's 5K record after running a 13:42.82 for second place in the event.Â
