LAST TIME OUT
Back in December, the Women of Utah saw a trio of sprinters break leave their mark in the record books for the 60m dash at the BYU December Invite.
Megan Rose had the fastest mark among the three with a run of 7.42 (aa) to move into second all-time while freshman
Chelsea Amoah ran the third-fastest mark at Utah (7.48 aa). Fellow freshman
Matejah Mangum also inserted herself into the record books with a run of 7.56 (aa) – which was good for fifth-fastest.

The sprints squad will compete at the Razorback Invitational (Jan. 31 – Feb. 1) while the distance heads up towards the PNW for the UW Invitational (Jan. 31 – Feb. 1) at Dempsey Indoor during that same time frame.
