TEMPE, Ariz. - The Arizona State track and field team competed at home for the third time this outdoor season as it played host to the 2003 Arizona State Invitational at Sun Angel Stadium Saturday evening. Kansas State, Ohio State and Northern Arizona were on hand as the Sun Devil women won nine events and earned 14 NCAA regional qualifying marks and 11 Pac-10 marks. The men, winners of four events, secured six regional berths and five spots in the conference meet.
Amanda Lyon in the 3,000m run.
On the men's side, the runners took top billing in three of the four ASU victories with half the wins coming in the relay events. Individually, Kris Alexander took the top spot in the 2,000m steeplechase while Lee Bartes captured the 400m intermediate hurdle event.
Though the runners fared better in the standings, three throwers moved up in the Arizona State record books with their performances. For the men, Travis Jones threw the hammer 56.23m (184-6) to move into the No. 6 spot all-time at ASU. Molly Clarke followed suit in the women's hammer as she recorded a 38.12m (125-1) mark in the event to move into No. 6 as well. In the women's shot put, Sandra Orsund claimed the No. 8 spot with a throw of 14.74 (48-4.50).
Next up for the Sun Devils is a weekend trip to Los Angeles for the UCLA Invitational April 4-5.
