LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech freshman Shade Weygandt won the women's invitational pole vault at the Mt. Sac Relays as the Lady Raiders and No. 4 Red Raiders were competing in Walnut, Calif., and the John Jacobs Invitational in Norman, Okla.
The Mt. Sac Relays began today with a few Tech student-athletes competing. Weygandt won the women's Invitational pole vault by clearing 4.30M (14'-1.25"), which ties her season best.
Senior Darrell Roddick improved on his season-best mark in the triple jump. His jump of 16.35M (53'-9.75") is the third-best jump in Tech history and moves him into the top five on the NCAA descending order list.
Freshman Bryce Lamb was fifth in the men's long jump invitational competition. He jumped 7.70M (25'-3.25").
Caroline Karunde ran in the 5000M invitational on Friday night running a time of 15:58.43. Her time moves her into the top 10 in the NCAA. Former Tech standout Sally Kipyego won the race in a time of 15:02.83.
