MANHATTAN, KS — The Oklahoma State indoor track and field teams opened their season on Friday and Saturday at the Kansas State Winter Invitational, taking first in 10 events on their opening weekend.

OSU competed with Kansas State, Nebraska-Omaha, Fort Hays State and a few athletes from Kennesaw State and Washburn.

"There was a lot going on at once," head coach Dave Smith said. "I saw some positives and negatives, but overall I was impressed with the way we competed today. A lot of kids were excited about their first time in uniform."

Mace Metcalf kicked off the two-day meet with a win in the men's pentathlon on Friday, scoring 3,445 points to edge out Derek Bixenman from Fort Hays State.

"You know, he had a good meet," Smith said. "He beat his PR in the 60m hurdles, so I think overall he did a nice job."

Freshman Torrey Hickel and redshirt-freshman Zach Andrew showed promise in the throws, with Hickel finishing second in the shot put and Andrew placing second in the weight throw.

"Torrey Hickel and Zach Andrew had a good meet in the throws," Smith said. "It was obviously our first meet, so we still need to shake some rust off. But I saw a lot of positives."

Brandon Singleton and Tanner Green went 1-2 in the men's 600-yard run, finishing in 1:13.89 and 1:14.57, respectively.

OSU swept the 600-yard titles with newcomer Latriciea Smith winning the women's race as well. She finished in 1:25.34 and was followed closely by Chelsea Jarvis, who took second in 1:25.67.

"All of the women in the 600 did a nice job," Smith said. "I was impressed with the job they did."

Freshman Ryan Roane took first in two events in the opening meet of the season – the long jump and the triple jump.

Roane impressed in the long jump, leaping 5.45m/17-10.75 feet to take the crown, then later jumping 11.45m/37-6.75 feet to earn first in the triple jump as well.

"Obviously it's nice to win an event," Smith said. "But she'll jump much better than that as the season goes on."

The Cowboy 4x400-meter relay team had a successful season debut.

The men finished first overall in the final event of the meet.

The quartet of graduate-transfer Kwame Donyinah, Tanner Green, Brandon Singleton and Calahan Newsome edged out the Wildcats with a time of 3:19.63.

"Now we have to get each athlete to keep up fitness over the break," Smith said. "We've got to get ready to run in a month."

The Pokes take a month off for the holiday season before returning to competition in the new year. Smith and his squads head to Lubbock, Texas, on Jan. 13 for the Texas Tech Corky Classic.
