LUBBOCK, TX. — The coaching tenure of
John Frazier at Texas State started in prime fashion as the Texas State track and field program performance at this weekend's Corky Classic "pleased" the first-year track and field director.
Sadi Giles, a junior from Sherman, Texas by way of Sherman High School, posted the second-fastest women's 60-meter dash in school history with a 7.41 time.
Dominick Yancy accomplished the same feat in the men's 200m as the junior from Euless, Texas was clocked at 21.36 seconds.
Throughout the two-day event, the Bobcats had 15 student-athletes place in the top five of their respective events with
Jada Glispie and Lee-Ann Blake claiming the top spots in the women's 400m b dash and women's one mile, respectively. Additionally, Texas State had 20 student-athletes finish between sixth and 10th place in their respective events.
FROM DIRECTOR OF TRACK AND FIELD JOHN FRAZIER
"My coaching staff did a great job preparing the team for their first outing. I was pleased with my team's performances both good and subpar knowing we need to have a starting point to build off. It's great to start building off personal bests as many of them achieved."
