Mar 22, 2025 | Track and Field
SAN ANTONIO – The Texas A&M track & field team claimed 14 events wins on the final day of the UTSA Invitational Saturday at the Park West Athletic Complex.
The Aggies capped off a dominant showing in their outdoor opener, claiming 14 wins on the second day to account for 18 wins over the weekend out of 31 events entered. 11 of the titles on the final day came on the track, while three came in the field.
Opening the final day once again in the field, Jaden Harris, Abigail Martin and Heather Abadie were the standout performers as they won the men's triple jump, women's discus and women's pole vault events, respectively. Harris shot out of the gate, recording a mark of 15.66m/51-4.5 on his first attempt which held throughout the meet to claim the second victory of his collegiate career. Getting the ball rolling for the women was Martin with a staggering season-opening throw of 57.16m/187-6 and securing the final field win of the weekend was Abadie, as the senior cleared 4.10m/13-5.5.
Flipping to the track, the women's 4x100m relay quartet of Jaiya Covington, Camryn Dickson, Bria Bullard and Jasmine Montgomery set the tone, crossing the line first with a time of 43.43.
Jasmine Harmon accounted for the first individual track win on the day in the women's 100m hurdles, bringing it home in 13.53 in her first race of the year.
The Maroon & White's sprinters held the momentum for the squad, as they swept both the 100m and 200m titles and added another in the 400m. Dickson ran a blistering 11.06 100m to double her win total on the day, while Ernest Campbell ensured the first win of his career after crossing the line in 10.28. Kennedy Wade secured a win of her own with a mark of 23.20 in the 200m, and Blake Holland followed suit with a time of 20.80 for the men's title. Rounding out the sprint wins was Jaydan Wood with a time of 53.43 in the women's 400m.
It was more of the same for the middle-distance group, as the squad accounted for three victories. Debora Cherono continued her form from the indoor season, capturing her first outdoor win with a time of 2:09.35 in the 800m, while Ondrej Gajdos crossed the line also in the 800m in 1:50.76 to secure the sweep of the event. In his first return to action since the 2024 outdoor campaign, Victor Kibiego picked up where he left off with a debut win in the 1,500m in a time of 3:51.25.
Concluding the opening outdoor meet on top was the men's 4x400m relay team consisting of Bryce McCray, DeMarco Escobar, Musa Isah and Eric Hemphill III, as the group crossed the line in 3:08.99 to secure the Maroon & White's 18th and final event win of the meet.
