NEW YORK CITY – BYU men's track and field was highlighted by the sprints position group on the final day of competition at the Dr. Sander Scorcher.
"It was a solid weekend for our team," said sprints coach Kyle Grossarth. "We are walking away with a few personal and a number of victories from this weekend. I’m happy with how everybody showed up and performed."
Eli Hazlett and Josh Taylor each competed in the pro-elite heat of the men's 400m. Hazlett took the win in 47.11, while Taylor crossed the finish in second with a 47.63 finishing time.
"Coach Kyle has me feeling really strong in the 400m this year," said Hazlett. "Although today wasn’t a personal record for me, the race felt smooth and easy. I am looking forward to running on faster tracks with faster competition as the season continues. There's much more to come.”
At the 200m distance, Logan Hubler clocked 21.56 to take second in the invite section of the event. In the open section, Riley Hunt ran 21.58 to take first while G Kire Goulding ran 22.72 across the line.
