LOS ANGELES – The Utah track & field team wrapped up its short time in the City of Angels on Saturday with seven top-10 finishes and three edits to the school record books at the Trojan Invitational inside Loker Track Stadium.
Â
Utah's 4x100m relay team of
Haley Duvall,
Kinzlee Riddle,
Matejah Mangum and
Chelsea Amoah gave the Utes a solid start to the day by running the second-fastest mark in program history to take second at 44.30.
Â
The distance crew of
Lindsey Peters (4:22.11),
Allie Bruce (4:36.17) and
Claire Le Gallo (4:38.29) claimed second, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 1500m run with Peters and Bruce both posting new career best marks.
Â
María Alvarado followed with a new PR as well in the 100m hurdles after she crossed the finish line with a time of 14.32 for eighth while
Glo Hussey ran a 14.75 for ninth-overall.
Â
Ellie Heslam recorded a run of 57.39 in her first 400m dash event while fellow freshman

Sophomore
Chelsea Amoah continued where she left off last season and moved up to No. 2 on the all-time list at Utah after clocking a new PR of 11.52 in the 100m dash to take third-overall.
Â
In the 200m dash, Duvall got off to a great start off the blocks and held onto her lead down the stretch to win her heat with a sprint of 24.38 – which inserted herself into ninth on the all-time list at Utah.

Earlier in the day in the long jump, Hussey finished seventh-overall with a wind-aided best mark of 6.03m (19-9.5) in her third attempt. Her fourth and final attempted yielded a leap of 5.95m (16-6.25) – the same as her first attempt – which was also a new PR.
