IRVINE, Calif.- Cammy Sargent made the most of her final regular season meet, setting the program record in the 800m.

"Leaving the meet with multiple school records and season best performances is a good way to lead this team into conference," head coach Amanda Schick said. "We still need to sharpen up in some areas and that will come in practice."

Sargent broke her own record in the 800m dash, finishing with a time of 2:07.42 minutes to place first.

"I raced smart today," Sargent said. "I felt good physically and mentally I was really focusing on having fun."

The women's 4x100m relay team turned in another strong performance this week, finishing with a time of 46.66 seconds. Samara Lishchynsky,
McKenna McGrath, Dorian Nesby and Kelsi Schuetz combined to place third in the event.

On the men's side, the 4x100m relay team placed fourth in the event with a 40.96-second time. The team was comprised of Demetrius Graves, Greg Laday, Adam Stark and Kyle Thomas.

Ashley Register narrowly set a personal record in the women's long jump, recording a 12.01m mark on her final attempt. Register missed her PR by .02m. Kylie Chavez placed seventh, with a 11.87m-mark.

Jake Tagita placed fifth in the men's triple jump with a 14.63m mark on his fifth attempt.

Kyle Thomas finished sixth in the men's 400m with a 47.63-second time.

In the women's 400m hurdles, Mackenzie Howie placed sixth with a time of 1:02.57.

Alex Ayers posted a personal record in the 400m hurdles, finishing with a time of 53.47 seconds. Ayers time was good for seventh in the race.

The PRs continue
Jalen Lyon set a personal record in the 400m with a 48.06-second time, placing him ninth.

In the men's 1500m, Stephen Haas set a personal record with a 3:57.46-minute time. Hass topped his previous record by 21 seconds.

"We have a lot hungary seniors looking forward to leaving their mark up in Missoula," Schick added.
