LONG BEACH & TORRANCE, Calif. — The UTSA women's track & field team posted a total of nine top-10 finishes at this weekend's three-day Mt. SAC Relays and it also competed on Saturday at the Beach Invitational.
Leading the way was Mia Hicks, N'Dia Warren-Jacques and the squad's 1,600-meter relay, who all posted fifth-place performances.
Hicks recorded her fifth-place finish on Friday in the discus, when she registered a measurement of 152-9 (46.56m), while Warren-Jacques also placed fifth on Friday in the shot put with her toss of 48-11 ¾ (14.93m).
Saturday saw the Roadrunners' mile relay of Chelsea Taylor, Jennifer Arinze, Sierra Andres and Paige Patterson pass the baton in a season-best 3:37.52, which was the second-fastest time in program history and it also ranks second on this spring's Conference USA leaderboard.
