Teeters Takes Down School Record In Lincoln

LINCOLN, Neb. -
Oklahoma State's John Teeters broke the school record in the 60 meter dash for the No. 11 OSU men's track and field team at the Bob Sevigne Husker Invitational, in Lincoln, Neb., on Friday.
Teeters bolted down the track in 6.69 seconds, eclipsing Daniel McLemore's school record of 6.70, which was set in 2004.
Teeters has been closing in on the record all season—running a 6.73 at the KSU Wildcat Invite, and then a 6.71 at the Razorback Invite.
“Coach Diego [Flaquer] and I have been talking about finishing,” Teeters said. “At the end of my races, I haven't been leaning, which has been slowing me down. He told me to charge through the line, and that's what I did. It's awesome to know I have a school record, but this program is definitely on the rise. The record could be broken by somebody else this season, so I need to keep working.”
Teeters' time makes him the second-fastest qualifier for tomorrow's 60 meter final, and moves him up to No. 19 in the NCAA in the event.
In the men's weight throw, Nick Miller won the event yet again, with a launch of 21.77m/71-5.25. This is the third-straight meet in which Miller has won the weight throw.
For the No. 24 Cowgirls, Caitlin Way took 22nd in the weight throw, with a mark of 15.13m/49-7.75.
OSU track and field returns to action tomorrow in Lincoln, where events will begin at noon. Live results can be found at www.huskers.com
