Tech concludes final two-day meet of regular season.
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech wrapped its fourth home meet of the season Saturday with a handful of personal bests and a program top-10 mark.
For the second time in her career, Lexye Price ran one of the top-10 times in school history in the 600y. The junior clocked 1:20.97 in the first running event of the day, finishing second overall but landing seventh in school history. She now own the seventh- and 10th-fastest 600y times in the Tech record books. Price ran the heat with the school record-holder, teammate Sylvia Schulz. Schulz ran a season-best 1:21.71, continuing her pursuit of the 1:20.13 record she set at last year's Big 12 Indoor Championships.
For the second straight meet, Peyton Ricks ran a career best in the 200m. The junior clocked 23.71 to lower her collegiate PR by seven-hundredths of a second. Ricks continues to hold at fifth in the conference. Joining her in PRs in the 200m Saturday were Kiah Dubarry-Gay (24.15) and Simone Watkins (24.33). Le-Taija Jackson ran 24.14 in her first 200m of the year.
High jump saw two Tech jumpers go out chasing PRs. Jack Scarborough competed well in a stacked men's field, clearing up to 7'-0.25" (2.14m). The next bar, 7'-2.25" (2.19m), would have been a 1.25-inch best. On the women's side, Sidney Sapp topped out at 5'-9.25" – and inch-and-a-half from a PR. She went out attempting two inches higher at 5'-11.25" (1.81m. Nobody in the field cleared that bar.
Personal bests were nearly captured in the horizontal jumps as well Saturday. Jalen Seals landed a top mark of 52'-3.25" (15.93m), again just a half-inch from the best triple of his career. Unlike Nichols, though, Seals' PR came in the Red & Black. Just two weeks ago, Seals went 52'-4.75" (15.97m). Seals currently sits 11th in the country in the triple. On the women's runway, Monae' Nichols hit 42'-0" (12.80m) in the triple jump – a mere half-inch from the career best she set at last year's MEAC Championships while at Bethune-Cookman.
Long distance was highlighted by Edward Rush, who won the 3000m with a personal-best 8:33.32. Rush's PR in the 3K came two weeks after running his best mile time at the Texas Tech Invitational.
Texas Tech's final meet of the indoor regular season will take place Friday, Feb. 19. Dubbed the Matador Qualifier, the one-day meet will be streamed live on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

Jumpers go out attempting PRs ??@jackscarb2 and @SidneySapp make attempts at PRs, but they'll both finish less than three-quarters of an inch under.
