Jae Macias sets new Freshman Record in the 200 meter

The Weber State men's track and field team split squad the weekend at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, California and the Oregon Team Challenge in Eugene, Oregon.

"We had quite a few stand-up performances at the Bryan Clay meet again this year," Head Coach Corbin Talley said. "This meet is always a great opportunity for us to put in some solid midseason marks."

"It was also a great opportunity to compete at historic Hayward field (in Oregon) against some of the best teams in the NCAA. Just an absolutely incredible experience for our athletes," Talley said.

"Overall, I was pleased with the efforts and performances this past weekend," Assistant Coach Josh Aydlette said. "We're in the middle of our training cycles, so there's still lots of room to grow. For the throwers to fight through some adversity on this stage and succeed in the end is such an important part of the personal growth I saw this weekend."

"We had a number of PR's, season bests, and some great races," Talley said. "I am pleased with their progress and the work that they're putting in."

The Wildcats will now travel to Utah State in Logan, Utah to compete in the Aggie Invitational April 24-25.
