The Houston track and field teams collected several podium finishes as the team split for both the Texas Relays in Austin and the Victor Lopez Invitational at Rice University.
The Cougars’ performance at the Texas Relays was highlighted by sophomore Christyan Sampy, who broke the school record in the pole vault on the first day of the Texas Relays.
Sampy’s 5.5m jump in the men’s pole landed first place in the competition as well as the highest mark in the nation.
In the men’s 4×400 meter relay, graduate student Quivell Jordan took home first place but finished third overall to qualify in the next event.
