Freshman Peyton Vickers won the long jump on Saturday with the third-best performance in program history.
SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA men's track & field team picked up six winning performances and 10 other top-three finishes at Saturday's Trinity Alumni Classic.
Leading the parade of gold-medal efforts was freshman Peyton Vickers, who won the long jump with the third-longest performance in program history. The Houston native leaped a Southland Conference season-best 24-7 ¼ (7.50m) to lead a 1-2-3 finish by Roadrunners athletes in the event. Fellow first-year teammates Adam Hebert (23-8/7.21m) and Tyler Williamson (wind-aided 23-5 ¼/7.14m) were right behind Vickers on the leaderboard.
Other winners for UTSA included junior Canel Cole in the 800 meters (SLC-leading 1:52.08), junior Brandon Chiuminetta in the 1,500m (3:58.34), sophomore Eric Doll in the 5k (15:33.49), freshman Darryl Wyrick in the 400m hurdles (53.08) and the 1,600m relay foursome of freshmen James Pailin and Spenser Eggleston, Cole and freshman Xaviar Archangel (3:15.66). All five times were season bests by the Roadrunners and the four individual clockings were personal records.
Other top performances for the Birds included Hebert's time of 21.56 in a second-place finish in the 200m and freshman Phil Steinert's toss of 154-6 (47.10m) in a third-place effort in the discus (fourth-longest performance in school history).
The Roadrunners will be back in action at a pair of meets next weekend. UTSA will travel to California for the Mt. SAC Relays (April 15-17) and the remainder of the squad will return to Trinity for the Trinity Tigers Twilight (April 16).
