Gardner breaks two school records on Senior Day at Robison Invitational
Sprinter Jaslyn Gardner broke the 100-meter and 200m school records as the Robison Invitational concluded with Senior Day on Saturday at the Clarence F. Robison Outdoor Track & Field Complex.
Gardner first broke the 100m record at 11.22, 0.13 seconds faster than her previous best set at the 2021 Robison Invitational. Less than an hour later, the senior from Enterprise, Utah broke Mindy Neeley McClurkin's 14-year old 200m school record by .20 seconds as she ran 23.10.
"I focused on my strengths, cues and execution plan," said Gardner. "It felt good to finish my last time running on the home track with two personal bests and two school records my senior year. I am excited for Big 12 championships and regionals to continue to strive to accomplish more."
Gardner now holds four individual school records at BYU: 60m, indoor 200m, 100m and outdoor 200m.
"My athletes love to run at home, and no one more than Jas," said BYU sprints and hurdles coach Kyle Grossarth. "I was happy to see her come out and do what she is capable of in her last opportunity to run at the Clarence F. Robison track. She has had a phenomenal career and I’m excited for her as we head into conference in two weeks."
