The junior finished as the overall runner-up and the top collegiate athlete in the event at the Texas Relays, registering a throw of 60.16m (197-4) on her second attempt of the competition and shattering the previous program record of 58.34m (191-5) that was set in 2017 by Emmonnie Henderson.

Jeremiah Willis also put together a solid performance in the field in Austin, finishing seventh in the men's long jump with a wind-assisted leap of 7.72m (25-4).

At the Bobcat Invitational, the Cardinals saw a pair of athletes secure a pair of top-four finishes in the women's long jump as Ariel Lawrence finished third with a wind-aided mark of 6.19m (20-3.75) and Lucy Fellows claimed fourth in her outdoor debut with a leap of 6.14m (20-175).

Alessandra Rodriguez earned a third-place finish of her own in the women's 1500m, finishing in 4:28.94, while Amy Harding-Delooze placed sixth in 4:36.87.

Competition at both the Texas Relays the Bobcat Invitational will resume tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 p.m. ET with the women's high jump.
