SMU Produces Number of Personal Bests and Season Bests This Weekend

Apr 1

SMU came away from this weekend's meets with nine new personal best performances and multiple SMU history-making races and jumps. 

Across all events, the Mustangs improved on their season marks in the second weekend of their outdoor season where they were split across four meets. Head Coach A'Havahla Haynes said the weekend was full of breakthroughs and progress. 

"This group continues to lean into the process and put out big performances on the SMU all-time list, American Conference list and NCAA descending order list," Haynes said. 

At both Stanford and San Francisco State, each Mustang in the 5k achieved a new personal best time. Kaitlyn Gearin ran a time of 16:12.24 -- good for sixth fastest in SMU history -- and Maddie Hulcy ran a time of 16:41.63 at Stanford. In San Francisco, Alanis Robineau placed sixth with a time of 16:38.48. Kendall Saeger ran 17:12.78 and Lior Kremer ran 17:2.49. 

Leoni Mierswa also had a great race resulting in a PR at San Francisco State with a time of 4:29.10 in the 1500. In the Steeplechase, Nikoleta Rafailaki placed ninth with a time of 11:07.67 and Jessie Crowley ran a time of 11:31.37. 

In the 800 at Stanford, Macey Hilton ran a time of 2:10.58 -- the ninth fastest in SMU history. Mackenzie Montandon ran the 800 at Texas State and achieved a season's best time of 2:19.30. Whitney Williams also ran her best time of the season in the 400 with a time of 54.78 and Camryn McPhaul ran a personal best of 56.28. 

This weekend's field events also saw a lot of success with Maykayla Jackson making her mark in SMU's history with the seventh furthest jump by a Mustang in the triple jump with a distance of 12.31 meters. Olivia Dobson had her career furthest jump of 5.74 meters in the long jump. Dobson also placed third in the shot put with a mark of 14.53 meters. 

SMU will be back in action in two weeks when they return to California.
