Herrs Leads Sooner Sweep

TEMPE, Ariz. – Led by a career-best throw by Elizabeth Herrs in the javelin, the Sooner track and field teams had a successful second day of competition in the Baldy Castillo Invitational hosted by Arizona State University.

In the men's javelin, Tyler Renton recorded a 221-03 to finish second. Garrett Snow jumped into fourth on the all-time career list with a 217-11 and TJ Noonan finished seventh with a 198-7.

Alexandra Morgan and Kate Foster opened their first competition this season with second- and fourth-place finishes in the discus, respectively. Today's meet is the first time for either to compete this year. Morgan had a 162-0 and Foster recorded a 156-9. Freshman Garrison LeRock earned a second-place tie in the high jump with a6-9.75.
