OPSU Men's Results
 
LEVELLAND, Texas  — The Oklahoma Panhandle State men's track & field closed its indoor campaign on a high note Saturday at the SPC West Texas Shootout, as the Aggies finished with their best marks of the season in five separate events.
 
Dillon Bruington cruised to a finish of 7.05 seconds in the 60-meters to top all Aggie marks in the event this season. Trenton Peterson and Gino Sapalo also competed, coming in at 7.40 seconds or better.
 
Christian Soto blazed to 22.00 seconds-flat in the 200-meters, also a season-best for the team. Soto took eighth of 18 overall in the event, while Jason Granillo finished in 10th with a time of 22.04 seconds for his PR.
 
David Okorie and Alan Martinez both came in under 50.0 seconds in the 400-meters for the first times this year, as the runners led their section at 49.35 and 49.77 seconds, respectively.
 
Joshua Samaron recorded OPSU's lone 800-meter time of the season, coming around in 2:09.00. He also led the Aggies in the mile for the day with his 4:48.67.
 
The final season-best for Panhandle State came in the 4x400-meter relay, run by Granillo, Martinez, Soto and Okorie. The team snatched a runner-up finish, clocking a 3:19.46.
 
"Our 4x4 was awesome," head coach Cyrus Hall said. "We were winning, we got hawked down on the last leg by a really, really talented guy. So we got second place. We beat Wayland Baptist, which, they're in our conference, so it was a pretty good showing."
 
Numerous Aggies took part in the throwing events, with Xavyer Mosqueda, Ayden Hendershot and Wyatt Hamilton finishing in the top five of the shot put. Mosqueda led with his mark of 12.40 meters, closely followed by Hendershot's 12.21 meters.
 
Hendershot also snagged a top-five mark in the weight throw at 12.45 meters. Aaron Vinson followed with a distance of 12.10 meters, good for his season best.
 
Coach Hall's Thoughts: "We ran pretty well today, I think we're getting really close to being where we want to be, so I wouldn't be surprised if first outdoor meet, second outdoor meet, we start to look really good. And we looked good today."
 
What's up next: The Aggies begin preparations for the outdoor season, which is set to start on March 12 in Coffeyville, Kansas.
