WACO, Texas (SMU) -- SMU athletes climbed the national performance list this weekend with their results at Baylor's Clyde Hart Invitational. Head Coach A'Havahla Haynes said this meet was a step in the right direction as a team. 

"There were performances moving women into SMU's Top-10 list and up the conference and national descending order lists," Haynes said. "It is a good place to start a season." 

SMU is dominating the American Athletic Conference list in the 1,500 after multiple personal best performances. Macey Hilton ran a PR of 4:24.46 -- the seventh fastest time in SMU history, 28th fastest in the nation this season and the fastest by an AAC athlete this season. Kaitlyn Gearin was right behind with 4:25.07 -- a personal best – that puts her 10th on the SMU list, 31st in the nation and second in the conference. Faustine Chaboche is third in the conference after a time of 4:28.87, and Flora Tissier is fourth with her PR time of 4:30.21. 

Nea Sanders ran a time of 1:02.91 in the 400-meter hurdles followed by Kirin Chacchia with 1:03.10 and Emily Waller with 1:03.33. The three athletes hold the fifth through seventh fastest times in the conference and are in the top 100 times run so far this season in the NCAA. 

Both Olivia Dobson and Gabriella Ayiteyfio had season best throws in the Javelin. Dobson is fifth in the conference and 68th on the NCAA list with a throw of 43.22 meters. Ayiteyfio added her name to the SMU Top 10 list with 34.50 meters. Dobson is also seventh in the conference in the shot put after her throw of 14.01 meters.

The 100-meter hurdles brought PRs for the Mustangs. Chacchia ran her personal best time of 14.52, and Dobson ran a PR time of 14.57. Ayiteyfio ran 14.70. 

In the 400, Whitney Williams ran a season best time of 54.70 bringing her up to third the conference and 31st on the NCAA list. Camryn McPhaul is also in the top-10 for the conference with 56.54. Running 56.94, Macey Hilton achieved a PR time.
