Matador Qualifier up next for Tech
February 16, 2023 | Track and Field
It’s the final regular season indoor meet for the Red Raiders
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech track and field team closes out the indoor regular season with the Matador Qualifier Friday afternoon inside the Sports Performance Center.
Last Time Out
In the two-day Jarvis Scott Open last weekend, Tech saw two new school records go down. Antoine Andrews put himself atop the 60m hurdles list running a 7.59 while Rosemary Chukwuma took down the 200m record with a time of 20.82.
Andrews was named the conference's Co-Athlete of the Week Wednesday afternoon.
Meanwhile in the men's pole vault, Zach Bradford went on to own each top-10 mark in program history as he topped out at 5.76m (18-10 ¾).
Rankings
In the week four U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) rankings, the men of Texas Tech stayed at No. 3 while the women remained at No. 15.
The TTU men have yet to drop out of the top-3, reaching as high as No. 2. The men enter this week holding four top-5 national marks and seven top-10 marks.
Athletes of the Week
Jan. 18 – Courtney Lindsey, Rosemary Chukwuma
Jan. 25 – Zach Bradford
Feb. 15 – Antoine Andrews
On the Lookout
It'll be a low-key day for the Red Raiders as the majority of the squad takes the week off in preparation for the conference meet next weekend. Nonetheless, several athletes will use this as a tune-up for Big 12s.
Edward Rush and Halena Rahmaan are coming off personal best (PB) performances last weekend in Nashville. Rush is entered in the mile Friday while Rahmaan looks to run the 1000m. In the men's weight throw, Jacob Mechler and Konner Wood are poised to continue their PB outings fROM last weekend as well as the women's side in Field Gatlin and Malin Smith in the shot put.
The hurdles crew will be in action with Simone Watkins, Naomi Krebs, Samuel Alves and Kyle Lind leading the way. Kyle Stifflemire will look to improve his season best outing in the pole vault last weekend as Caleb Wilborn looks to get one more high jump session in before Big 12s.
