UTSA received podium finishes from Kaylon Sellers and Kelsey Benoit for the second consecutive week at last Saturday's Texas A&M Aggies Invitational.
Sellers finished second in the triple jump for the second week in a row with a leap of 47-11 ¾ (14.62m).
Meanwhile, Benoit earned a bronze medal in the shot put for the second straight Saturday. Conference USA's leader registered a season-best mark of 57-9 ½ (17.61m), an improvement of more than a foot and four inches from the previous weekend. Georgia's Denzel Comenentia (59-11/18.26m) and Arizona State's Thomas Anderson (58-11 ½/17.97m) were the only two competitors to finish ahead of the Roadrunners junior in the field of 21 throwers. Benoit's performance earned him C-USA Field Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday.
Patrick Prince also sits atop the league leaderboard in the 60-meter hurdles following his clocking of 7.99 last Saturday.
The Roadrunners stand second in the circuit in four other events (400m/1,600m relay/high jump/weight throw) and third in another two (800m/distance medley relay).
