The SMU Track and Field squad traveled to Lubbock, Texas last week to compete in the Red Raider Open.

The Mustangs finished strong winning four events and placing 15 competitors in top-five positions.

Senior Amber Evans proved to be a leader, coming away with three top-five finishes of her own.

They included a first place with a time of 24.37 in the 200-meter dash. Evans placed fifth in the 55 meters, tying her personal best of 7.18 seconds and came in fourth in the 400 meters with a time of 55.86 seconds.

The Mustangs dominated the distance events, winning 1,000 meters, 3,000 meters and the mile.

Junior Kristine Eikrem-Engeset took the 1,000-meter event with a time of 2:54.20, her second win this season.

Freshmen Kajsa Barr and Frida Kristiansson placed first and second in the mile, respectively, with times just above the five-minute mark.

Senior Monika Korra rounded out the top five in the event, with a time of 5:19 flat.

Junior Mary Alenbratt won the 3,000-meter event with a time of 10:13.70, while Kristiansson added another second place finish to her record.

The Mustangs’ success didn’t stop on the track, much to their competition’s despair.

In the field events, senior Ayla Gill threw her second-best toss this season (17.73) in the weight throw, winning second place.

Sophomore Helena Perez placed third in the “section A” shot put.

Freshman Rayann Chin won the “section B” shot put event with a season-best toss of 12.92m.

The Mustangs travel to Ames, Iowa Feb. 9 to Feb. 11 to compete in the Iowa State Classic.
