The WSU outdoor track and field team had a busy weekend with three meets in two states and achieved a plethora of podium finishes and personal bests.

The Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos, Texas, highlighted the talented women’s 400-meter hurdles group with Mackenzie Fletcher taking first place and achieving a season-best time of 1:00.47, and teammate Jada Van Staden taking third with a PR of 1:01.33.

The women’s 200m also did very well as Elise Unruh-Thomas and Jasneet Nijjar both attained PRs and took first and third place, respectively.

At the Texas Relays, held in Austin, Texas, both Louie Hinchliffe (10.23) for men’s and Elise Unruh-Thomas (11.57) for women’s achieved the fourth-fastest time in the 100m dash.

The Stanford Invitational located in Stanford, California did not disappoint with many accomplishments for the Cougs.
