GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - The Southwestern Men's Track and Field team traveled to San Antonio, TX for the Trinity Invitational, a two-day meet at Trinity University. The Men battled SCAC competition from  Texas Lutheran, Trinity, St. Thomas, and Schreiner as well as schools from other divisions, including McMurry which is currently ranked in the top 25 for Division III.

"Very successful day in San Antonio with numerous personal best. The invite has always been a great showing of competition. Happy with our team's performances over the two-day stretch and excited to see how the season progresses," recapped Coach Eboh.

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Kevin Love had a 17-second PR in the 1500m.

  • Cade Rosenquist and Emilio Salas in the 10k both ran nearly perfectly evenly split races with 2 seconds or less separating their first and second 5ks. 

 

PERSONAL BESTS

FULL MEET RESULTS

Coach Joe Sponsel has this to say about  the two-day meet, " In our first couple meets, I defined success for the distance group as getting calibrated back to track racing and applying our training to races. This meet was much more about seeing the results from that training and I am very pleased with those results. We continue to race smart, largely avoiding the common pitfall of going out way too fast. We left ourselves some room in the second half of the races to actually race and beat people, which in part is what led us to the handful of PRs the team ran this week. From here, the plan is to keep the consistency in training and continue to find that next 1% we can give in races. They've earned the down week over Spring Break we've got coming up, but we have a lot of season left to improve."
