GOING THE DISTANCE
Five Red Raiders are travelling to the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, to compete in the 10,000-meter, steeplechase and 5,000-meter races. Senior Jocelyn Caro and junior Miguel Bautista are the 10k competitors. 2016 Big 12 3,000-meter steeplechase Champion Benard Keter will be making his outdoor season debut running his first steeplechase race of the season. Hattie Schunk and Jasmine Torres will wrap up the Mt. SAC Relays with their 5k runs.

TOP-10
The men's team snagged their first top-10 spot this season coming in at No. 10. This upward movement is owed to three performances at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe, Arizona. Andrew Hudson ran his school-record 20.43 200-meter dash. This time is also conference leading and fourth in the nation. Charles Jones and Vincent Crisp also notched new personal-best 800-meter runs. Jones' run ranks ninth in the world, fifth in the nation and first in conference.
