AZUSA, Calif. - Fort Hays State University's track and field athletes exhibited strong performances on the final day of the Bryan Clay Invitational on Saturday (April 13). The Tigers finished Saturday with a pair of champions and provisional marks. The teams finished out the weekend with more than ten provisional marks (7 men, 4 women).
 
The distance team was led by Jaycee Vath, who won the women's 1,500m Open Race C with an impressive time of 4:36.52. Freshman Madison Sutterfield delivered commendable performances in both the 1,500m Open Race C and the 5,000m Open Race C, securing a top ten finish in the 1,500m race and notching personal bests in both events.

The men's distance team saw Grant Bradley finish eighth in the men's 1,500m Open Race B, accomplishing a personal best in a time of 3:50.03. Bradley finished the weekend with two personal bests and holds the third best 1,500m time in FHSU's NCAA DII history. 
 
Toby Wahlmeier represented the men's sprint team with notable performances. Wahlmeier showcased his swiftness in the 200m, securing the ninth spot with a time of 21.18 seconds, earning a coveted DII provisional mark but was just .03 seconds off his best time this spring. On the women's side, senior Taylor Savolt showcased the women's 400m hurdles, earning 18th with a time of 1:01.58, good enough for a DII provisional mark. It was only about four-tenths of a second behind her fastest time this spring ran at the Texas Relays.

In the field events, Annabeth Baalmann won the women's pole vault C, clearing a height of 12 feet, 2.5 inches. Brady Deges secured second in men's pole vault C with a height of 15 feet, 1-inch.

The Tigers are now set for the competition in Kearney, Neb. at the Loper Invitational next Friday (April 19). The team will then host the Alex Francis Classic on Thursday, April 25.
