Utes represented at three different meets on Thursday.
WALNUT, Calif. – The Utah track and field team opened competition on Thursday in California, competing at the Mt. SAC Relays, Bryan Clay Invitational, and the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate.
Â
"Today was a big day of track and field between the three meets I think our gals competed hard and continued to improve in several event areas," head coach Kyle Kepler said. "Grayson's time will get her into the NCAA Prelims if we choose to run that race. Ann [Wingeleth] had another solid day and held the lead until the final round. Brooke [Martin] ran another PR in the 400H and Ashley [Licata] broke 11 minutes in the steeple for the first time. Three of the four highlights come from freshmen which is obviously a good statement."
Â
Representing Utah at the Mt. SAC Relays, junior Grayson Murphy competed in her first 10,000-meter run of the season. Murphy placed in the top-10, finishing in ninth place with a time of 34:06.69 in Walnut, Calif. This mark ranks fourth all-time at Utah.
Â
While Murphy competed on Thursday at the Mt. SAC Relays, several Utes were competing at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif.
Â
In the 3000-meter steeplechase, freshman Ashley Licata led the way when she finished 21st overall with a personal best time of 10:58.53. This mark ranks fifth all-time at Utah.

Â
Utah also saw action at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate, hosted by Long Beach State in Long Beach, Calif.
