ATHLETES TO WATCH
Sam Castle continues to impress as he topped his 800-meter personal record to move up the top 10 list last weekend. Castle clocked a time of 1:50.94 to win the event and become the third-fastest performer in program history. Along with his stellar 800-meter performance, Castle also assisted the men's 4X400-meter team in posting the fastest run seen in program history. The relay team, consisting of Lucas Flemmer, Castle, Thailan Hallman, and James Pierce, clocked a combined time of 3:12.12 to take the program record and win the event.
Brielle Dixon continues to dominate as the senior once again topped her 60-hurdles program record. Dixon won the event with a time of 8.26, which is currently the fastest time in the league this season. Following her 60-hurdles record-breaking performance, Dixon returned to the line moments later to compete in the finals of the 60-meter dash. The senior clocked another personal record, crossing the line at 7.51 to finish runner-up. Dixon's time is currently fourth-fastest in the conference this season and placed her as the fourth-best 60-meter performer in Jackrabbit history.
LAST TIME OUT
Hunter Wallster posted a personal record in weight throw during day one of the SDSU Classic. Wallster threw 65-11.50 (20.10m) to win the event and become the third-best performer in SDSU history. Caiden Fredrick finished runner-up behind Wallster with a mark of 62-11.25 (19.18m). Ethan Fischer and Ryan Hackbart rounded out the Jackrabbit lineup as Fischer finished fourth with a mark of 60-08.00 (18.49m) while Hackbart took seventh with a mark of 56-06.50 (17.23m).
For sprints, Ellie Harris and Sian O'Sullivan made their mark on the all-time list. Harris took fifth in the 200-meter invitational with a time of 24.97 to become the eighth-fastest performer in program history. O'Sullivan won the 200-meter open at 24.95 to make the all-time list as the seventh-best performer in Jackrabbit history.
Lindsey Rotz and Grace Waage competed in the 800-meter. Rotz clocked a time of 2:10.75 to finish runner-up, while Waage took third with a time of 2:11.10.
