SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA track & field teams will travel to College Station for the Alumni Muster, which will be hosted by Texas A&M on Saturday, May 1, at E.B. Cushing Stadium.
This will mark the fourth trip of the year to Aggieland for the Roadrunners, who will line up against athletes from Baylor, BYU, Kansas State, Louisiana Tech, McNeese, Northwestern, Rice, Sam Houston, Tarleton State, Texas A&M, Texas A&M-Kingsville, UT Arlington and UTRGV.
The meet will get underway with field events starting at 12:30 p.m. and running events are slated to begin at 5:30 p.m.
So far this year, UTSA has competed in College Station twice indoors at the Aggie Invitational and Charlie Thomas Invitational and once outdoors at the Texas A&M Team Invitational on April 9-10, when three school records fell.
Lacee Barnes took down the UTSA and Cayman Islands national records in the women's discus with a third-place throw of 51.52 meters (169-0), bettering Mia Hicks' mark of 50.12m from 2018.
Maia Campbell broke an eight-year-old school standard in the women's shot put with a second-place mark of 15.77m (51-9), which she improved to 15.95m (52-4) one week later at the Roadrunner Invitational. The senior from Converse Judson owns the Alumni Muster meet record in the shot put with a 14.61m (47-11.25) effort two years ago.
Marilis Remmel won the women's javelin with a throw of 45.55m (149-5) to eclipse the school record of 45.51m (149-4) set earlier this year by Sigrid Kleive.
Abby Balli raced to gold in the women's 1,500 meters in the Roadrunners' last visit to E.B. Cushing Stadium with a time of 4:36.99. Faith Roberson crossed first in the women's 400m hurdles in 58.84, while Sam Healy leaped to top honors in the men's long jump with a measurement of 7.62m (25-0).
