The SMU women’s track and field team is gearing up for their next meet – the University of Texas at Arlington Bobby Lane Invitational.

The ladies are coming off of a strong performance this past week at the TCU Horned Frog Invitational and hope to continue their success for the rest of the outdoor season.

First-year Craishia Washington broke the SMU school record at the meet in the 100-meter dash, with a stellar time of 11.57.

“It’s a great accomplishment and I hope to continue on this path. Consistency is the key,” Washington said.

At last year’s Bobby Lane Invitational, several SMU key athletes were successful.

Senior Amber Evans took fourth in the 400-meters with a time of 54.23, and also finished fourth as a member of the 4×400 relay team.

Like the sprinters, the throwers were able to add substantial points of their own to the board.

Senior Ayla Gill took home gold in the hammer throw last year, with an impressive 53.17-meter toss.

Sophomore Helena Perez placed fifth in the same event last year.

The UTA Bobby Lane Invitational will be held in Arlington March 23-24.
