HOUSTON - Led by a pair of first-place finishes, the UTSA men's track & field team finished one point shy of a top-three showing at Friday's Leonard Hilton Memorial. The Roadrunners scored 53.5 points to place fourth, trailing Houston (97), Texas (76) and Rice (54.5) in the team standings.
Junior Will Vese led the way for the second week in a row. The Houston native recorded his second NCAA provisional time in as many weeks in winning the 60-meter hurdles in 7.91.
Sophomore Gaston Griffin was the Roadrunners‘ other first-place finisher, as he raced to a 48.90 in claiming the 400 meters title.
Junior Luke Johnson collected a second-place finish in the weight throw (15.85m/52-0) and placed fifth in the shot put (personal-best 16.09m/52-9 1/2), while freshman Alton St. Rose skipped to a 14.29m (46-10 3/4) in the triple jump, which was good for third place.
UTSA is back in action next weekend when it travels to the Northern Arizona Invitational in Flagstaff, Ariz., on Friday, Jan. 26, and the Washington Invitational in Seattle, Wash., the following day.
