Utes compete at Mt. SAC Relays and Bryan Clay Invitational

WALNUT, Calif. – The Utah track and field team continued competition at the Mt. SAC Relays and the Bryan Clay Invitational on Friday, April 14, where they posted many personal bests and solid performances.

"We had several lifetime best today at Bryan Clay. Our 800 group ran particularly well across the board and was led by Faust who really rebounded after a lousy race on Thursday. Gehrich ran a really nice race in the 1500 even with getting bumped with 200m to go. She still PR'd and her time should get her to the NCAA Prelims. We have several other gals who are closing in on that next step but still have work to do to finish the deal," head coach Kyle Kepler said.

The lone Ute to compete at the Mt. SAC Relays in was junior Hannah McInturff. McInturff competed in the open 5000-meter run and placed 17^th overall with a time of 16:51.57 in Walnut, Calif.
