STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State's women's and men's track and field teams had several representatives at the UTA Open Track Meet in Arlington, Texas, this weekend.
Cowgirl Melinda Jackson recorded her best mark of the indoor season in the long jump event. Her mark of 20'01.50 will put her among the top four jumps of the season for the women of the Big 12. Tiffany Davis also recorded her two best season times in both hurdle events. Her 13.87 finish in the 100-meter hurdles beat her previous season-best of 14.34. She also recorded a 1:03.34 in the 400-meter Int. hurdles, beating her previous personal best of 1:04.16.
For the men, Junior Vasquez recorded remarkable times in both the 1,500-meter run and the 3,000-meter run. He finished the 1,500-meter in 3:59.59, good enough for a third-place finish. His time of 9:30.20 in the 3,000-meter allowed him to finish fourth. Cowboy Tray Vernon's 9:48.20 time in the 3,000-meter wasn't too far behind Vasquez, finishing sixth.
