Austin, Texas - Julianne Kennedy set a new school record in the heptathlon at the 79th Texas Relays, in Austin, on Thursday. Kennedy scored 5,104 points during the two-day event. She replaces the previous school record of 4,955 she set at the Angelo State Multis in March.
In her 11th-place finish, Kennedy set personal bests in the 100M hurdles with a 14.45, the 200M with a 25.65 and the long jump with a leap of 19'-0.5". Her point total also provisionally qualifies her for the NCAA Championships. Of the 22 competitors, Kennedy was the highest Big 12 finisher of the four representatives of Big 12 schools.
Chad Andrews ended day one of the men's decathlon with 3,496 points. Andrews started day two with the 110M hurdles and had an injury in the event. He threw the discus then pulled out of the decathlon entirely. In the two-day event, Andrews set a personal best in the 100M with a wind aided clocking of 11.49.
In the 400M hurdles prelims, Tia Barginear clocked a 1:03.25, Bryan Scott clocked a 54.13, Marlon Odom ran a 53.28 and Shawon Harris clocked a regional qualifying time of 51.35. Odom and Harris both clocked season bests and Harris will run in the finals of the event on Saturday.
