WALNUT, Calif. – Freshman Steven Brown leaped to an NCAA regional-qualifying mark in the long jump to highlight action for the UTSA men’s track and field team during the first two days of the Mt. SAC Relays held at Hilmer Lodge Stadium.
Brown measured 24-4 Ľ, a team-best this season, to finish third in the University/Open Division and punch his ticket to the NCAA Midwest Regional. That effort improved his previous season best of 22-11 ľ by more than one foot.
