Sunday April 6,  2025 - 1:00 p.m. | Dylan DeVlieger

Mesa Track & Field continued their Outdoor season over the weekend as they competed in the UCSD Triton Invite. 

Women's Track & Field:

The Lady T-Birds had a great showing as Carmella Baldwin set a PR and finished first in the Steeplechase clocking a time of 11:12.16, falling less than two seconds shy of breaking the school record. Kinley Jackson also had a strong showing in the event as she set a PR with a time of 11:57.56.

Sara Jacobson took 8th in the Javelin Throw with a mark of 41.02m. Madisyn Williams continues to improve in the Pole Vault as she was successful at 3.50m.

Katie Munoz qualified for Outdoor Nationals in the 1500m as she set a PR finishing in 4:52.97.

Men's Track & Field:

The T-Bird Men had big days as Corbin Pyle finished 6th in the 800m with a time of 1:52.24. Caden Hardison (1:52.73) and Benett Kaup (1:56.40) each set PRs in the event.

DeAndre Gatlin was extremely close to setting a PR in the High Jump at 2.11m but just grazed the bar enough to topple it over. 

With just over a month until Outdoor Nationals, the T-Birds will begin the finely tune their work as they are better able to compete with the best in the nation in Hutchinson, KS.

"We're getting to the point in time where we are focusing on executing, and being where we need to be as we get closer to the regional and national championships. This was a great meet for us, and now it's just time to get back to work," said head coach Daniel Pescador.
