UTSA has opened the indoor season with two straight road trips to Houston and College Station. 
 
The Roadrunners opened the indoor campaign at the FasTrak Collegiate in Houston, claiming 18 total individual titles. 
 
Last weekend, the Roadrunners ventured to College Station for the Ted Nelson Invitational, hosted by Texas A&M. UTSA had several strong performances last weekend in College Station, getting a runner-up finish in the 400 meters from senior Darionne Gibson, a product of Converse's Judson High School. 
 
UTSA also saw Taylor Armstrong place third in the 400m, with freshman Sigrid Klieve, a native of Aalesund, Norway, placing second in the long jump and freshman Ingeborg Guenewald placing third. 
 
Maia Campbell placed second in the weight throw and fourth in the shot put last weekend, with Sofia Salinas, Vera Chinedu and Olivia Esemena turning in strong outings. 
 
The men were led by Caleb Devereaux's third-place finish in the 800m, with Brett Winnegan placing fifth in the long jump and Jorge Ayala finishing fifth in the shot put.
 
UTSA is under the direction Aaron Fox, who is in his 12th year as Director of Track & field/Cross Country. Fox is assisted by associate head coach Kareem Streete-Thompson (sprints/jumps/relays), recruiting coordinator Chris Adams (throws), David Hartman (cross country/distance), Michael McPherson (pole vault/multis/jumps) and Jackie Richards (400m/hurdles/relays).
 
Leading the way for UTSA in 2020 are junior Danielle Spence, the defending Conference USA Indoor triple jump champion, and Gary Haasbroek, the league's reigning heptathlon titleholder and 2019 C-USA Indoor Freshman of the Meet. Spence and Haasbroek, who own school records in their respective events, both collected second-team All-America honors at last year's NCAA Indoor Championships.
