Lamb Punches Ticket to NCAA Indoor Championships Feb. 6, 2010
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech track program had its best weekend of the season as the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders saw an automatic mark, two school records and eight NCAA Provisional marks at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational, New Mexico Classic and the Texas Tech Open meets. Bryce Lamb qualified for his first NCAA Indoor Championships in the triple jump as he jumped an automatic mark at the New Mexico Classic. His mark of 16.27M (53'-4.50") won the event and is a personal-best jump for the freshman. It is currently the fourth best in the nation. Teammate Darrell Roddick placed second with a NCAA Provisional jump of 16.13M (52'-11") while at the New Mexico Classic. Kelsey Lloyd showed her vast potential by winning the pentathlon yesterday at the New Mexico Classic in her first attempt at the event. Her total of 3,989 points is a NCAA Provisional mark and is the fourth-best performance in school history. The score is also currently fourth-best in the NCAA. She won the 60M hurdles (8.49), tied for first in the high jump (5'-8.75") and the long jump (19'-7.50"). Also in New Mexico, Shade Weygandt cleared 4.15M (13'-7.25") placing in fourth and Amanda Alley tied for sixth clearing 3.85M (12'-7.50"). Red Raider Brian Porter cleared his first NCAA Provisional mark of the year. He tied for third place clearing 5.20M (17'-00.75"). Lamb also competed in the long jump placing second with a NCAA Provisional mark of 7.75M (25'-5.25"). Roddick finished in fifth with a jump of 7.31M (23'-11.75")
Omo Osaghae improved on his season-best time as he tied the Athletic Training Center facility record of 7.17 in the 55M hurdles. The mark converted to the 60M hurdles puts him third in the NCAA at 7.72. The Red Raiders took second through fourth as well. Jansen Hyde (7.31) was second with his second NCAA Provisional time of the year. Bryce Brown (7.36) took third with his first NCAA Provisional time of the year and Brandon Tucker (7.57) finished fourth. Latoy Williams set the school record in the 600Y by running a 1:08.53. He placed second place to the former record holder Jonathan Johnson. The Lady Raiders had Sandra Iwunze place second in the 55M hurdles with a time of 7.97. Terra Evans placed first in the women's 200M with a season best of 23.89. Candace Jackson place second in a time of 24.41. Lillian Badaru ran her first 3,000M of the year winning the race in a 9:41.14 while teammate Winrose Karunde finished in second with a time of 9:50.25. In the throwing events, Ozie Okolie won the women's weight throw with a toss of 17.85 (58'-6.75"). Tyler Menges placed second in the weight throw with a mark of 15.47 (50'-9.25") and won the shot put with a toss of 17.37 (57'-00). Meagan Willingham and Katherine Priebe led a first and second finish in the 5000M for the Lady Raiders. Willingham ran an 18:47.71 and Priebe clocked a 18:48.67. Erica Alexander and Taylor Evans ran season-best times in the 400M. In her first 400M of the season, Alexander crossed the line in 55.01, while Evans ran a 55.15 to place first and second, respectively. Two Lady Raiders placed first and second in the 600Y. Devin Bailey won with a 1:25.81 and Shannon Jackson was right behind with a 1:26.82. The women's 4x400M relay of C. Jackson, Alexander, Iwunze and Taylor Evans won the race with a season-best time of 3:40.68. The men's 4x400M relay of Henderson, Brown, Mason and Williams finished in second with a 3:15.59. A correction to yesterday's article should be that Thomas Cattin-Masson ran the third leg of the men's distance medley relay instead of Zack Dawson.
