PROVO, Utah — Sophomore multi-event athlete Jaden Roskelley and senior thrower Danny Bryant led the Cougars with event wins on Friday.
Bobcat Invitational / San Marcos, Texas
Roskelley finished the decathlon at the Bobcat Invitational with the top placement and 7278 points. The sophomore also secured personal bests in four of ten events in two days of competition.
"It was my first decathlon since surgery and it was a solid start with four new personal bests," said Roskelley. "First day was pretty rainy, but it was a good meet to see where I’m at physically. I figured some things out, and I’m excited to do better in the next decathlon at home."
Utah Valley Invitational / Orem, Utah
The Utah Valley Invitational saw Bryant secure event wins in both the shot put and hammer throw. Bryant threw a 18.69m/61-3.75 mark in the shot put, an event that earned him First Team All-American status at the 2024 NCAA Championships. The hammer throw featured a 57.38m/188-3 mark to earn Bryant the event win. The senior also recorded a third-place finish in discus.
"Danny threw a personal record to win the hammer throw, had outdoor season bests in the discus and shotput to be the top collegiate in discus behind two professionals and win the shot put," said throws coach Niklas Arrhenius. "So all around it was a positive day and we’re looking forward to next week."
In addition, freshman thrower Carson Riner threw a 64.36m/211-1.75 mark in the javelin to finish first overall in the event.
Texas Relays / Austin, Texas
The sprints crew qualified for the final of the 4x100m relay with a 40.38 outing. The crew composed of Logan Hubler, Riley Hunt, Dallin Draper and Trey Jackson won their heat to get the automatic qualifying spot in the final Saturday.
"Fun times as always at the Texas Relays," said sprints coach Kyle Grossarth. "It’s a great opportunity early in the season to team up and run some relays. Having the 4x100-meter relay crew advance to the finals was great. We are looking for good things tomorrow from those guys and the 4x200-meter and 4x400-meter teams."
