LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech track and field team will compete in its second indoor meet of the season, hosting the Red Raider Open Friday morning at the Sports Performance Center.
The field events will start at 10 a.m. starting with the weight throw as all the running events are set to begin at 10:30 a.m., following the national anthem which is set for 10:25 a.m.
The Red Raiders opened the indoor campaign last weekend hosting the fifth annual Corky Classic. Overall, the two-day meet witnessed 11 Tech athletes claim first in their respective event.
Terrence Jones, Jr. raised some eyebrows in his first heat of the 60m after clocking in a time of 6.53 – nearly breaking Divine Odudur's school record of 6.52. That record came to an end as Jones. Jr shattered the mark taking first in the finals with a time of 6.45. He tied the NCAA mark set by Tennessee's Christian Coleman (2017) and BYU's Leonard Myles-Mills (1999).
Meanwhile, Ruth Usoro placed first in the long jump and was named the Big 12 Co-Athlete of the Week Thursday afternoon for her efforts. The senior's mark of 6.48m (21-3.25) leads the Big 12 and is second in the NCAA, only behind Florida's Jasmine Moore's mark of 6.58m (21-7.25).
