DENTON – A pair stadium records fell to North Texas track and field, along with four first place finishes at the annual North Texas Classic Saturday at the Soccer and Track & Field Stadium.
Jack Beaumont broke the 3000-meter steeplechase stadium record by 11 seconds with his time of 9:11.50 for first-place honors, and Karlington Anunagba lowered the 100-meter dash stadium-best to 10.27 seconds in his title finish.
Michael Gonzalez earned first place in pole vault at a height of 5.00 meters, and Karl Sralla registered a mark of 51.64 meters in discus to finish on top. Haley Walker set a North Texas record in weight throw with a toss of 56.11 meters.
"I'm happy for our performances," director of track and field Carl Sheffield said. "I'm excited whenever we can compete like this at a high level at our house and at our stadium."
Runner-up finishes in the field events went to Zion Hill (javelin, 61.60 meters), Yannick Kalidas (13.99 meters), Glenquioa Hardy (long jump, 5.73 meters) and Walker (hammer). On the track, Gwyneth Garcia (steeplechase, 11:53.12), Luke Canon (1500, 3:55.74), the men's 4x400 (Ziphion Reevey, Tobias Walker, Michael Adams, James Moten; 3:18.52) and both the 4x100 women's (Monica Johnson, Lyric Choice, Macy Burnham, Aneesa Scott; 45.37) and men's (Antonio Delacruz, Davonye Jones, Jared Johnson, Anunagba; 39.57) teams came in second.
"Kevin Williams is the meet director, and he has done an awesome job. It's funny because I'm always so used to being responsible for making sure everything is right," Sheffield said. "Kevin did everything, he answered every question, he had everything in place. We had a fantastic turnout of officials and volunteers. People stopped to tell me it is a great meet, and we'd love to come back. I think we have a history of putting on good meets, so people want to come, and we run fast here, so I'm excited about that."
The Mean Green head to Baylor to compete in the Michael Johnson Invitational April 16-17.
