AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Oklahoma's men's 1600-meter relay posted a season-best time of 3:09.75 to finish fifth in the Cleburne Price Jr. Invitational 1600-meter relay on the final day of the 75th annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays Saturday.
The relay included Raoul Harvey, Ernest Lewis, Moses Washington and Aldwynn Sappleton, the same foursome who earned All-America honors in the event during the 2002 indoor season.
The Sooner pole vaulters had a tough day in competition. Sophomore Leslie Dunlap finished eighth in the women's division A pole vault with an 11-11.75. The vault was her first non-NCAA qualifying mark of the year, breaking a string of 12 consecutive competitions in which she had cleared at least an NCAA provisional mark. It also broke her string of clearing at least 12-0 in competition. Dunlap was one of three vaulters to clear 11-11.75 but finished eighth based on number of misses. The first five finishers all recorded NCAA automatic or provisional qualifying marks.
On the men's side, senior Michael McNamara and junior Michael Westlund tied for ninth in the division A pole vault with vaults of 16-8.75, which was the opening height. The third of OU's vaulters to compete in the division, Robin Hanna, failed to clear the opening height. The top seven finishers in the competition recorded NCAA automatic or provisional marks.
Sprinter Jimyria Hicks, who is redshirting this year, finished second in the invitational 100-meter dash with a time of 12.05. Former Sooner, All-American Alesha Peel, competing for the Pioneer Track Club, was fifth in the invitational 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.80.
The Sooners will be in Norman next Saturday to host the first of two outdoor meets, the annual John Jacobs Invitational. Action begins at 10 a.m. at the John Jacobs Track Complex.
