SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State's Alyssa Wilson set a school record in the hammer throw for the second day in a row while Dominick Yancy posted a personal-best in a first-place finish in the 200 meter dash as the Bobcats continued their run in the Bobcat Invitational at the Texas State Track and Field Complex on Friday.
 
A day after setting the school record in the hammer at the Texas Relays, Wilson raised the standard even further by throwing 71.36m on Friday to win the event. The mark established a new collegiate personal best (previously 70.63m) while made her the ninth-best performer ever in the hammer throw in an NCAA track event.
 
Wilson set the nation-leading mark in her first attempt and finished as the only competitor with a throw over 60 meters at the meet.
 
Of the four hammer throws in school history to be over 60 meters, Wilson has recorded three of those instances in the last week.
 
While Wilson improved nearly two meters from Thursday's Texas Relays to Friday's, she still has thrown farther in her career. She threw 73.75m in the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. in June 2021.
 
Meanwhile, Yancy raced to the top spot in the 200 meter with a time of 21.01 out of lane eight in his heat. The junior beat out his previous best of 21.15 set in the Sun Belt Track and Field Indoor Championships this past February.
 
He fell nine hundredths of a second short of cracking the school's top-10 all-time records.
 
"This has been a great two days of track and field at Texas State," said Texas State director of track field John Frazier. "Alyssa had a great day getting a seasonal-best in the hammer and Dominick had another PR two weeks in a row in the 200m. Our coaches and athletes have been working hard to help prepare the Bobcats for a great outdoor season."

In total, the Bobcats set seven collegiate PRs on Friday. Isaac Sadzewicz soared past his previous personal best in the pole vault (5.06m) by registering a mark of 5.20m to finish fourth in that event. Sedrickia Wynn ran 24.49 in the 200 meter to post a new personal record and Jada Glispie PR'd in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 1:03.53.
 
As the lone Bobcat at the Texas Relays on Friday, Katherine Stuckly finished 12th in the high jump with a leap of 1.67m.
 
The Bobcats will close out the first of their two home meets this season on Saturday. The men's high jump will kick off the field events at 10 am while the track events get underway starting at 2 pm with the women's 4x100.
