AUSTIN, Texas — Little Rock took a small portion of its outdoor track and field teams to Austin this weekend for the 97th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays, but they left a big mark by setting three new school records, including two by Aaliyah Mathis.
Mathis returned to her home state and made a big impression, winning the gold medal in the women's shot put while finishing sixth in the discus, breaking her own program records in both events. On Friday, the Humble, Texas native threw for 15.08 meters (49-5.75) to win the shot put, then followed it with a program-best throw of 50.
