Last Time Out
  • The relays continued to be HOT! The men's 4x100 won in 39.23. That's ASU's fastest 4x1 time since 2014 when they ran 39.08.
  • Dubem Nwachukwu won the 400m in 46.10, setting a new personal record and marking his first collegiate 400m victory.
  • Jalen Drayden and Jeremiah Curry are in prime form. Drayden won the 100m in 10.34, tying his lifetime best. Curry won the 200m in 20.75, just shy of his lifetime PR. They both contributed to the 4x1 victory along with the 3:09.30 win in the 4x400.
  • Grace Campbell took second in the high jump, leaping 1.80m/5-10.75. That's a new PR for her and ties her for sixth all-time in ASU's record books.
  • Freshman Trevor Querciagrossa won the 5,000m in 14:36.40. That's his first ever collegiate 5K, and he crossed the line 30 seconds ahead of team Jonathan Estrada (15:04.25).
  • Turner Washington is back to doing Turner Washington things. He won the shot and discus, though both marks were far off his PRs. His shot went 18.96m/62-2.5, while his disc went 60.97m/200
