The Texas track and field program competed at both the Razorback Invitational and the Bill Bergan Invitational over the weekend, posting strong results without sending complete squads.
The short-distance women went to Ames, Iowa, for the Bergan Invitational and won each of the four events they entered.
But the most impressive performance of the weekend came from Fayetteville, where senior distance runner Sara Sutherland won the women’s 3,000-meter in convincing fashion with the third-best time in school history.
“[Sutherland] knocked it out of the park,” head coach Mario Sategna said.
Sutherland led the entire race and finished 18 seconds ahead of second-place teammate, senior Marielle Hall.
Sophomore Zack Bilderback dominated the men’s competition as he won the 400-meter at the Bergan invitational with a personal-best time of 46.98.
The squad will return to Albuquerque, N.M., on Friday for the New Mexico Collegiate Classic.
