TEMPE, Ariz. - All three of Arizona State's women's relay teams posted victories at the Baldy Castillo Invitational this afternoon at Sun Angel Stadium in Tempe. The men's relay squads posted one win and two runner-up performances at the meet.
The women's 4x100m relay came down to the wire as the Sun Devil squad defeated Tennessee by 2/100 of a second, posting a 45.44. The 4x400m relay also topped Tennessee's squad, but by a larger margin, taking top honors in 3:38.28. That mark provisionally qualifies the relay for the NCAA Championships, to be held in Durham, N.C., May 31 through June 3. The women's distance medley relay recorded a winning time of 11:33.38.
The men's distance medley relay won in 9:47.59, while the 4x400m squad placed second to Ohio State with a 3:08.36. The 4x100m relay, already provisionally qualified for the NCAAs, posted a 39.58, placing second to an unattached team.
Other top finishers include Olivia Mazzaglia's third place in the high jump (5-6.5), Erika Johnson's second place in the triple jump (40-5), and Dwight Phillips' second place in the 100 meters (10.36), just 2/100 of a second away from posting an NCAA provisional time.
The Sun Devils do not compete next weekend, but return to action in two weeks, as they will divide the squad between the Texas Relays, which will be held April 7-8 in Austin, Texas, and the Hayward Relays, which will be held April 8 in Eugene, Ore.
