The Longhorns also won the pole-vaulting event, as junior Reese Watson improved to No. 7 in the country after clearing a height of 5.46 meters (17–11.0). Freshmen Kally Long tied for first in the women’s pole vault after clearing the bar at 4.26 meters (13–11.75).

Sophomore hurdler Spencer Dunkerley-Offor finished second after displaying a personal best in the semifinals and the finals of the 60-meter hurdles. Dunkerley-Offor ran the event in 7.89 seconds, which moved him into the top 25 in the nation.
Texas will split up again next week, sending a group to the New Mexico Collegiate Classic in Albuquerque and another to the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame.
