In addition to the Charlie Thomas Invitational, a small contingent of Houston athletes will also compete in the FasTrack Collegiate Open on Saturday, inside Yeoman Fieldhouse on the University of Houston campus. Live results for the event can be found here .

Looks like some good results so far. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t really get into indoor track. Idk, running is just supposed to be done outside.

Wow, impressive feat. It’s not like it just opened this season, the Gilliam Indoor Track facility opened in January 2009.

I saw a quote from A&M coach that they held out some of their top talent… Sounded like an excuse to me. :sob:

Houston did not bring all of their team, nor all their talent

A 400-meter dash specialist, Montgomery stepped down in the 200-meter dash to work on his speed and on Saturday, he did just that. Montgomery raced one lap around the track in a time of 20.63, the second-fastest time in Houston history to win the event. The time is the fastest in The American Athletic Conference this season and is No. 4 nationally.

Not to be outdone, Obi Igbokwe finished just behind Montgomery with a PR of 20.66 to stake claim to third on the Houston all-time 200 list, No. 2 in The American and No. 5 in the nation.

Taylor claimed Houston’s first win of the day, clocking 8.40 in the finals of the 60-meter hurdles, dipping at the line to claim the win. Whitney Ochiam ran a PR of 8.58 in the event to finish fifth and move up to No. 7 on The American’s performance list.

Houston swept the top-two spots of the men’s 60-meter dash as Burke raced down the track in a time of 6.69 followed by Travis Collins in a time of 6.74. The time places Collins No. 4 in The American as #HTownSpeedCity controls five of the top six spots in the event in the conference.

The two were part of five Houston runners in the eight-man final as Nicholas Alexander was fourth with a time of 6.78 and Terence Ware was sixth in 6.85. Freshman Edward Sumler IV closed out the group with a seventh-place finish in a time of 6.87.

Houston flexed its muscles in a middle distance race as Laverty claimed a win in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:51.18. The time was less than a second of Laverty’s season best of 1:50.38, a time that leads The American.

Scaife remained undefeated in the weight throw this season, picking up her fourth win of the year in wire-to-wire fashion. Scaife, who entered the weekend ranked No. 2 nationally, launched her winning throw of 65-4.00 (19.91) on her first attempt.

The 4x400-meter relay of Quivell Jordan, Igbokwe, Burke and Trumaine Jefferson closed out the day with Houston’s final win and secured the team title with a time of 3:07.83.

Amere Lattin finished second in the 400-meter dash on Saturday but clocked a PR of 46.91, the fifth-fastest time in Houston history, in doing so. The time move Lattin to No. 2 in The American and No. 20 in the NCAA.

He was joined on the podium in the event by Jermaine Holt, who completed the two-lap race in a personal-best time of 47.28 to take third and move to No. 4 in The American.

Outside of the oval, Felipe Valencia took second in the men’s shot put with a throw of 60-3.75 (18.38), just a quarter-inch off his top throw this season, which ranks No. 1 in The American.

In the men’s 60-meter hurdles, freshman Devion Wilson clocked a PR of 7.95 to finish third Saturday and move to No. 2 on The American’s performance list. Jordan took fifth with a time of 8.05.

Brianne Bethel finished sixth in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.46 while Ashley Seymour took eighth with a time of 7.60. Seymour advanced to the finals after clocking a PR of 7.54 in the event’s prelims while Bethel also advanced on time, running 7.47.

While Birexus Hawkins finished seventh Saturday in the 400-meter dash, the sophomore jumped up to No. 2 on The American’s performance list with a time of 54.96.

The women’s mile saw Jennifer Dunlap finish fifth with a season-best time of 4:56.88 to move up to No. 8 on The American’s performance list.

In addition to the Charlie Thomas Invitational, a small contingent of Houston athletes competed in the FasTrack Collegiate Open on Saturday. The group was led by Phedenia George-Mosbey, who won the women’s long jump with a mark 18-3.25 (5.57), and Sarah Howe who won the women’s pole vault with a clearance of 10-11.75 (3.35).
