TEMPE - Arizona State wrapped up the final day of the Sun Angel Classic in a big way, claiming wins in the women's 100m, men's long jump, and men's 4x1. Turner Washington jumped to second in the nation with his outdoor shot put debut, while Dylan James moved to 15th in the NCAA with his LJ win. Adriana Tatum's 100m time with a personal record, but the freshman is outside the national top-25. ASU now has 18 top-25 national marks following the Sun Angel Classic and has a few short days until the hottest regular-season meet: The Mt. SAC Relays.

James was the talk of the morning. The sophomore lept 7.70m/25-3.25 on his fifth attempt to take the 15th national spot. Brown's Altan Mitchell was just 1.25 inches shy of taking James' spot. James now has two top-25 national marks: Today's long jump and his 15.65m/51-4.25 triple jump mark from the ASU Invitational.
 
Adriana Tatum's development continues to be key to ASU's success. The freshman won the 100m (11.67, PR) and 200m (23.35, PR) dashes this week and helped ASU's 4x400 team to a third place finish too (3:37.09). She's ran 11.67 twice now in back-to-back meets. Her 200m time puts her 31st in the country, while the 4x4 group is 33rd.
 
Turner Washington is finally back to throwing the shot under the sun. He went 20.87m/68-5.75 on his second throw of the day to take the No. 2 spot in the country. He debuted the shot yesterday and is currently fourth in the country at 62.12m/203-10, two inches under freshman teammate Ralford Mullings (63.50m/208-4) who continues to turn heads in his first year.
 
The Sun Devils are expected to send a full squad to Walnut Creek, California for the Mt. SAC Relays. Competition runs Thursday-Saturday. ASU is then back at Sun Angel Stadium for one final meet April 22-23 and closes out the regular season April 30 at Arizona with the UA's Desert Heat Classic. The Pac-12 Championships are then May 13-15 in Eugene, Oregon at historic Hayward Field.
