For Jones, he makes his first 200m indoor final, while Dean makes his second-straight 60m hurdles finals

BOSTON – The Texas Tech men secured six finals lanes for Saturday highlighted by Caleb Dean and Terrence Jones each doubling in their respective events.

Dean qualified in the 60m first running a time of 6.61 before going 7.61 in the 60m hurdles. Jones, meanwhile, turned in the fastest 60m time going 6.56 as he then turned in the fastest time in the 200m going 20.34. Don'Dre Swint was the third Red Raider to make the 60m final clocking in at 6.61. Tech was the only team to place two or more in the 60m final.

It's the first time since 2022 (Southern California) that a school puts three sprinters in the 60m final.

Over in the 400m prelims, Shaemar Uter nabbed the second-to-last spot finishing seventh overall at 46.09. That time is the eighth fastest in Tech history.

The women's side closed out the day with the evening portion of the meet. Alyssa Colbert was the only Red Raider out of the trio to secure a finals spot as she placed seventh with a time of 7.21.

Rosemary Chukwuma (7.27) and Success Umukoro (14^th) finished 11^th and 14^th, respectively. Chukwuma later in the evening was a "DNS" in the 200m prelims.
