AUSTIN, Texas - The women's 4x400 meter relay team ran the second best time of the day with a season best 3:36.50. That mark qualifies them for the finals tomorrow afternoon at 4:20 p.m. Only the University of Texas ran faster, posting a 3:35.33.
The women's 4x100 meter relay team clocked a 46.46, not good enough to make tomorrow's finals.
In the pole vault, Kendra Phelps finished 11th with a season best mark of 11-01.75. Men's vaulter Sky Jones finished seventh in the section B flight with a 16-08.75. Teammate Jim Autenreith will vault tomorrow in the section A flight.
After a 45 minute weather delay, the Baylor men ran the school's second best time in the sprint medley relay. Peter Hauser, Zsolt Szeglet, Brandon Couts and Floyd Thompson finished third with a time of 3:14.17. Baylor's school record of 3:13.00 was set in 1989 in Austin. The Bears surpassed the 3:14.2 mark set in 1989 at Des Moines, Iowa.
