The Master's University track and field teams excelled at the UCLA Bob Larson Distance Classic and the Westmont Classic, achieving multiple qualifiers and personal bests. Jack Anderson set a new personal record of 3:47 in the 1500m, marking the fastest time currently in the NAIA and nearly breaking the school record. Emmanuel De Leon and Suzie Johnson also qualified for NAIA Nationals in their respective events, while a field of athletes at the Westmont Classic celebrated 11 personal bests, including record-breaking performances in the hammer and high jump.

By the Numbers
  • Jack Anderson's 1500m time of 3:47 is the second-fastest in school history.
  • Emmanuel De Leon improved his personal best in the 10000m by 31 seconds, finishing at 30:39.
Yes, But

Despite the impressive performances, Brooke Cregan narrowly missed qualifying for Nationals in the 3000m steeplechase, just one second off the required pace.

State of Play
  • 11 personal bests were achieved by TMU athletes at the Westmont Classic.
  • New records were established in the men's 4x400m relay and in both men's and women's high jump events.
What's Next

The Mustangs are set to compete at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational on April 11, where they aim to build on their recent successes and secure more qualifiers for Nationals.

Bottom Line

TMU's strong performances at recent meets highlight their competitive edge in track and field, positioning them well as they prepare for upcoming challenges and potential further achievements at Nationals.
