MATADOR QUALIFIER REWIND

Oklahoma competed two student-athletes at the Matador Qualifier in Lubbock, Texas, last Friday evening.

The Sooners claimed two first-place finishes and broke two meet records.

Sophomore Payden Montana got things started for the duo, taking first in the women's shot put and setting the meet best. Montana's throw of 52-9.5 (16.09m) bested the previous meet record set by Annina Brandenburg from Abilene Christian on Feb. 21, 2020. Brandenburg's meet record was 51-10.5 (15.81m). The sophomore broke the mark in her third throw of 52-8.25 (16.06m) but recorded her farthest mark of 52-9.5 (16.09m) in her last throw.

On the men's side of the event, senior Cooper Campbell also broke the meet record and took home a first-place finish. Campbell threw for a mark of 61-4.25 (18.70m), securing the win in his fifth throw of the event. The senior broke the record previously set by Eric Kicinski of Texas Tech on Feb. 15, 2019 in his first throw of 60-8.5 (18.50m). Kicinski's record was 60-4 (18.39m).
