ST. GEORGE, Utah — Two more school records fell on Saturday for Utah Valley University and
Quincy Bonds was once again a part of both records. Bonds broke the 100-meter hurdle record on Saturday and was on the 4x100 squad that now holds the top spot in the record book. Those performances came a day after she set the 200-meter record on day one of the Utah Tech Invitational.
Ella Hopper,
Kali McEuen, and
Gabriele Dabb joined Bonds in the 4x100, with the team taking first with a school record time of 45.48 seconds. Bonds' 100mH record came with a gold finish and in 13.38 seconds.
Hopper, who also had a top 10 PR in Friday's 400-meter hurdle, also set the No. 8 time in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.92 seconds on Saturday. Dabb, Hopper, and McEuen were joined by
Harmony Lopez in the 4x400, with the Wolverines just finishing in front of Utah State for the win.
The men's relays also recorded wins with
Kade Thompson,
Cameron Franklin,
Gunner Stepp, and
Gavin Stafford running the 4x100 in 40.36 seconds, which is second in the record book only to last year's WAC Outdoor Championship performance. Franklin,
Bode Jensen,
Max Clemons, and
Isaiah Archer won the men's 4x400, finishing just over two seconds in front of the quartet of
Jackson Egbert,
Brayden Walker, Stepp, and Hone.
Jensen also took first place in the men's 400-meter dash with Hone finishing in second right behind him. Clemons took first place in the men's 800, with the No. 7 mark in the UVU Top 10 with a time of 1:51.62. Thompson won the men's 100-meter dash in 10.52 seconds.
