SACRAMENTO — The Stanislaus State men's relay team capped a busy day on the track at Hornet Stadium as the Warriors competed at the Hornet Invitational at Sacramento State.
In the final event of the day, the men's 4x400-meter relay team posted a seasonal best time of 3 minutes, 15.32 seconds to finish second, behind only Weber State. The Warriors group were made-up of
Terrence Gladney,
Nicholas Johnson,
Ramon Vargas and
Noveleen Thiara as the men shaved off two seconds from the time posted two weeks ago on home track (3:17.62).
Earlier in the day, the men's 4x100-meter relay team clocked 42.01 with nearly the same group of Warriors (
Isaac McCrimon, Gladney, Johnson and Thaira). The women's relay teams also posted solid results with a 48.06 in the 4x100 and 3:50.19 in the 4x400.
Thaira had a great day as he also recorded a personal best in his specialty event of 400-meter hurdles. He ran a 53.85 on Saturday, against a field of Division I athletes, to beat his previous PR of 54.38 set at the 2016 CCAA Track & Field Championships.
