Overall Results

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Oklahoma State track and field program earned four event titles in its first of four trips to Fayetteville this season at the Arkansas Spring Invitational.

"I think it was a pretty good day," head coach Dave Smith said. "For a rust-buster for a lot of these athletes, we had some great performances."

Senior Cowboy Luis Martinez had the race of the day for the Pokes when he took first in the men's 1,500-meter invitational in 3:45.93. Martinez missed the meet record by five-hundredths of a second, set by former Cowboy Tom Farrell in 2011.

"It was a great race," Smith said. "He did a heck of a job."

Latriceia Smith took home gold for the Cowgirls in the women's 800 meters, clocking in at 2:15.55. Smith ran a blazing 66-second 400 meters in the latter half of the race, edging out Caraline Slattery from Kansas.

Two hours later, Sinclaire Johnson out-kicked the competition in the women's 800-meter invitational section, earning first in 2:09.55. Johnson's mark currently sits as the No. 11 outdoor time in the NCAA in 2018.

The final event win for Dave Smith's squads came in the women's 4x400-meter relay. The quartet of Nicolette Dixon, Danielle Coleman, Stephanie Ferrante and Amira Coleman ran an impressive 3:42.08, which was fast enough for No. 4 on the OSU all-time performers' list.

Junior Wesley Hallof became the school record holder in the men's javelin with his throw of 53.94m/177-0, edging out Jason Isaacson's mark set in 1991.

Zach Andrew launched into the OSU record books as the only OSU competitor on day one of the meet. His mark of 50.81m/166-8 was good enough for No. 2 in outdoor school history, with the top mark set by Nick Miller at the Big 12 Championships in 2016.

Togher, Ireland native Emily Rogers inched her way up the school's outdoor performers list with her third-place finish in the women's high jump. Her mark of 1.65m/5-5 is her best in a Cowgirl uniform and slots her in a three-way tie for seventh in school history.

Texas-transfer Blake Scott made waves in his outdoor debut for the Cowboys, placing third in the men's pole vault with his height of 4.80m/15-9. Scott's mark earns him eighth on the OSU outdoor all-time list.

In the women's 200m, sprinter Megan Harris continued to impress as she finished in 24.72 seconds, earning her the No. 9 time in outdoor Cowgirl history.

Next up for the Pokes is a packed weekend, as the squads will split to Tulsa, Texas and California in search of regional qualifying marks.

"When we go to those places, the reason is to find competition and get in situations where we can get qualifying marks for sure," Smith said.
