Tech women place second, men third at Big 12s

LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech monitor and subject crew closed out the Big 12 Outdoor Championships because the women positioned second with 162 factors and the men third with 118 factors. 
 
For the Tech women, the second-place outing matches its highest end since 2009 and it is essentially the most factors scored in a Big 12 outside meet. 
 
“I want to start off by first and say I cannot talk about anything without mentioning our women’s team,” mentioned head coach Wes Kittley. “In my 23 years, this is the best performance ever at a Big 12 – it’s the most points we’ve ever scored and came within 10 points of winning it. I’m telling you, our girls were just phenomenal.”
 
Demisha Roswell turned heads within the 100 hurdles posting the fourth-fastest NCAA time at 12.44 (1.5), claiming first general. The time lowers her personal faculty file and turns into the third-fastest time in Jamaican historical past. Moments later, Maliek Kendall was topped the men’s 110 hurdles champ as he crossed the road at 13.45. Saturday, he posted the second-fastest time within the prelims (13.65)
 
The first Red Raider to be topped a champion Sunday was Sidney Sapp within the excessive soar. Sapped stayed alive with a season-best clearance of 1.83m earlier than clearing 1.86m and 1.89m for the brand new faculty file.
 
Meanwhile, the varsity data continued to drop, this time within the women’s 4×100. The crew of Virginia Kerley, Kiah Dubarry-Gay, Demisha Roswell and Rosemary Chukwuma knocked down their very own file of 43.11 from the Texas Relays with a brand new time of 42.75. 
 
The last Red Raider champion got here within the triple soar, courtesy of Ruth Usoro. The Nigerian leaped 13.94m (2.3) for the win. In the method, it turned a brand new wind-aided Tech file, breaking her personal 2021 mark of 13.85m. Ruta Lasmane (13.81m, 4.2) and Onaara Obamuwagun (13.71m) completed third and fourth, respectively. 
 
Other notable finishes included Logan Fraley within the men’s pole vault as Tech’s lone scorer. Fraley got here into the meet with a PR of 5.10m and closed out his Sunday run at 5.21m. Courtney Lindsey set a brand new wind-aided TTU file within the 200 going 19.82 (3.8) as he completed second general. 
 
The crew of Nayanna Dubarry-Gay, Knowledge Omovoh, Okay. Dubarry-Gay and Aneesa Scott completed second within the 4×400 with a time of three:32.63. It’s the ninth quickest time within the Tech books. 
 
Chris Welch (16.43m, 2.3) and Jalen Seals (16.33m, 2.4) went second and third within the triple soar. Seasons Usual led the best way for Tech within the discus throwing it 55.81m on her first toss for third general. Gabe Oladipo completed fourth for the men at 55.05m.
 
In the women’s 800 Michaela Lewis clocked in a mark of two:05.49 for the sixth-fastest time in Tech historical past and fourth general. In the 100, Chukwuma set a wind-aided file of 10.88 (2.4) as she positioned third general.
