CANYON, Texas  — The Oklahoma Panhandle State women's track & field team competed Thursday through Saturday, with the runners at the Jo Meaker Classic at West Texas A&M University and the throwers plus lone jumper Neo Trim at the Tabor College Invitational.
 
Jo Meaker Classic
OPSU athletes set two program records Thursday at the Jo Meaker Classic, coming thanks to the performances of Breyanna Kemp and Carolina Valenzuela.
 
Kemp set the school record 200-meters time at 24.75 seconds, 0.19 seconds faster than her own previous mark. Ashlynn Perez had a personal record in the race by crossing in 26.24 seconds, and Akia Bowens ran well at 27.79 seconds.
 
"Bre crushed it," Hall said, making note that her time stands alone at the top of the Sooner Athletic Conference this season in the 200-meters.
 
Valenzuela's school record occurred Thursday in the 3,000-meters steeplechase, as she recorded a time of 12:24.68 to top her own record. Also running in the race was Lillyan Gerow, who bested the previous program-record mark as well but was 10 seconds behind Valenzuela at 12:34.31 for a big PR.
 
"I thought Lillyan was really, really, really good today," Hall said as he also noted Valenzuela's accomplishment. "Really happy with that going into conference."
 
Ki'Anna Jones competed in the 800-meters Thursday and set her third straight PR in the event by finishing in 2:27.61.
 
"I thought we had a good day today (Thursday)," Hall said. "This is probably the best I've felt leaving a meet all outdoor season."
 
On Friday, Ashlynn Perez sprinted to a time of 12.51 seconds in the 100-meters, and Shania Chavez crossed in 20:15.79 in the 5,000-meters.
 
Kemp came through with a season-best 58.00 seconds in the 400-meters Friday.
 
"Breyanna ran really well, I thought. She ran almost a perfect first 300 meters, and then she got a little sloppy the last hundred meters because she was running into a pretty hard wind," Hall said. "But I was really happy with her performance today; she's coming on really strong here late in the season."
 
Tabor College Invite
Saturday in Hillsboro, Kansas, Trim, Avery Brown and Brittney Carrasco competed in their respective events.
 
Trim set a pair of season-bests by notching marks of 4.41 meters and 9.99 meters, respectively, in the long jump and triple jump.
 
Carrasco led OPSU in the discus with her distance of 31.97 meters, while Brown highlighted the throwers' efforts in the hammer with her mark of 36.15 meters.
 
What's up next: The Aggies have a week off before heading to Nelson University for the Sooner Athletic Conference Championships, held April 24-25.
