Men's Track Leaps Past and Blaze Competition at Trinity Invitational

Men's Track and Field started their outdoor season at the Trinity Invitational. The Celts meet was highlighted by amazing performances from Bryce Mcintyre and Matthew Hicks

Bryce McIntyre locked in third place in the Men's Long Jump with a mark of 6.86m. Then in long jump, Matthew Hicks hopped 2.00m, clearing 6'6.75 ft and set a personal best to finish second overall. Hicks was also the highest-placing Division II and III jumper at the meet. His success didn't stop there though, as Matthew also competed in the Men's Triple Jump. In that event, Hicks jumped out to 12.74m to place fifth overall. Also competing with him was his teammate Jacolby Mattox, who was a hair behind him at 12.21m for eighth overall. 

Up next were the dash events. In the Men's 200m dash Bryce McIntyre continued his stellar meet, clocking 22.02 seconds in the event. McIntyre's time was good for sixth place, and second overall against Division III runners. Just a hair behind him at 15th place, Kashla Kapyamba ran it in 22.46 seconds. 

Then, in the 400m dash, the Celt's were highlighted again by McIntyre as he took first place. Bryce cleared all competition, with an outstanding time of 48.86 seconds. Eduardo Waller also finished in the top ten at eighth place, running the event in at 50.13 seconds. 

Finally, in the distance competitions, St. Thomas' dual sport athletes shined. In the 1500m run, the Celts one-two punch of Jhancarlos Carpio and James Urbina both finished in the top ten. Carpio finished fourth with a time of 4:02:80, and Urbina placed clocking 4:07:45. Then in the 800m run, Jacob Smith showcased his speed to finish seventh place, with a 1:57.45.
