Senior Shakeem Smith broke his own school record for UTEP in the Corky Classic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this past weekend, shaving another 0.01 off his record with a time of 7.89. Unfortunately, that only resulted in a fourth-place finish in the 60m hurdles. Smith has the second and third fastest times in C-USA this season.
Overall, over 20 personal bests were set for the UTEP track team.
Rising star and freshman sensation Titus Cheruiyot won his third 3000m run of the year with a close victory at 8:09.57 Cheruiyot won the race by one-fifth of a second of the runner- up.
