PROVO, Utah – The Utah track & field team closed out its first indoor met on Saturday at the BYU December Invitational inside Smith Fieldhouse with some movement in the all-time record book as well as a pair of event victories.
Â
Saturday opened up with the 60m hurdle prelims with Harley Daniel tying Kolbi Sims (2/21/20) for the second-fastest time in program history when she clocked in at 8.58 (aa) to register the fastest time heading into finals. The sophomore would finish second-overall after posting a time of 8.63 (aa). Bailey Kealamakia also competed in the 60m hurdles, posting a mark of 9.02 (aa) in the prelims.
Â
Megan Rose propelled herself in into third on the all-time list when she ran a PR mark of 7.55 (aa) in the 60m dash finals for second. The Boise, Idaho, native opened up the prelims with the fifth-fastest time at 7.68 (aa) before earning her spot in the finals.
Â
Kealamakia also ran in the 60m dash, crossing the finish line at 7.75 (aa) for a new PR in the prelims. Chloe Shewell ran in her first 60m dash ever as a Ute and won her heat with a mark of 7.87 (aa) while Malia Overton posted a new personal best time of 7.91 (aa). J'neya Hill made her collegiate debut in the same race, running a mark of 8.03 (aa). Delaney Gates was just off of her PR in her heat, running a time of 8.31 (aa).
Â
Utah nearly swept the podium in the 500m race with Ally Gomm taking first with a mark of 1:13.40 with Chloe Taylor right on her tales with a time of 1:13.98 in her Utah debut. Millie Wilcox took fourth in the near sweep with a run of 1:15.22 while Annie Murdock made her return to the track with a time of 1:17.30 for seventh-overall. Bri Rinn was right behind Murdock, crossing at 1:17.52 to round things out for the Utes.
Â
The 4x400m relay team closed the day off with a bang, winning the event with a time of 3:42.79 (aa) while the B squad took fifth with a time of 3:54.79 (aa). Â
