<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“It was another solid day across the board,” head coach Todd Harbour said. “I thought KC (Lightfoot) had a great pole vault competition with Zach (Bradford of Kansas). Those
are two of the best vaulters in the country. Any time those guys get together, it’s going to be spectacular. It was a good, solid day for KC.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Lightfoot and Bradford, both freshmen, cleared 18-5.25 (5.62m) in the pole vault with Lightfoot taking home the victory with less misses than Bradford.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Wil London made it two-for-two in the 400 meters this outdoor season by clocking 45.25 for the win. Matthew Moorer (45.97) took fourth, while Howard Fields III (46.22) finished
fifth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Wil got a W in the quarter,” Harbour said. “He looked very controlled and ran a really solid, controlled race. Matt Moorer in the quarter again, and Trey, all three of those
guys ran well.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Jayson Baldridge took home the gold in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 50.48.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“That was a good one for Jayson Baldridge,” Harbour said. “That’s close to his PB in the 400 hurdles. He’s starting to drop and come on now.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

finish sixth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It was a career day for Leti De Souza and Morgan Stewart in the 800 meters. De Souza registered a PB for the second consecutive meet (2:05.50) to finish third, while Stewart
clocked a personal-best 2:06.41 to place fourth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“Leti and Morgan both got nice PBs by seconds in the 800, so that was a perfect day for the 800,” Harbour said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“We’re coming off of a huge home meet,” Harbour said. “It was very emotional with Coach Hart’s retirement at home. Getting them back up again this weekend is a little bit of
a challenge, but I thought they did a good job. I thought they responded well.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“The weather is not supposed to be good tomorrow, so we’ll make some calls,” Harbour said. “We got a few nicked up today, so we’ll have to make some judgment calls on some of
those relays tomorrow. But, it was overall a good day.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
