LEONARD MOVES INTO TOP TEN IN HIGH JUMP DURING FIRST DAY OF DON KIRBY INVITE

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Sacramento State men's and women's indoor track and field teams recorded 15 personal bests, including a school top 10 mark during the first day of the Don Kirby Invitational on Friday.

Izzi Leonard headlined the group with a best of 5-05.75 in the women's high jump. That mark was a half-inch over her previous best and moved her into a tie for 10th place in school history. Leonard cleared her first four bars on her first attempt until failing to clear 5-07.75.

Other PRs for the women in the field events came in the long jump where freshmen Jessi Barry and R'kai Davis had the top two marks. Barry jumped 17-07.00 for a nearly eight inch improvement. Davis' mark of 17-05.50 was five inches longer than her previous best.

In the running events all five women in the 200 set personal bests. Kacyra Simmons led the bunch with a time of 25.20 which is the fastest by a Hornet woman this season. The other PRs were set by Daysha Ford (25.26), Kassidy Schroth (25.56), Tia Outlaw (25.80) and Kameryn Brown (26.32).

Two Hornets finished among the top 10 in their 3K races. Molly Latincsics was sixth in the 3K in 10:19.14 while Dani Gee was fourth in the unseeded 3K in 10:46.19.

The best finishes for the men's team came in the unseeded 3K as well. Aiden Maddison was fourth with a PR of 8:53.59 and Santiago Ruiz was eighth in 9:04.06.

Andrew Lehner set a PR in the pole vault to finish in 11th place. Lehner cleared 15-00.75 which was a half-inch over his previous best.  Miles Grant added a 13th place finish in the high jump at 6-07.25.
