RENO, Nevada — Three school records fell on Saturday including Quincy Bonds’ new 200-meter record as Utah Valley University wrapped up the weekend at the Wolf Pack Classic in Reno.
Bonds broke the 60-meter hurdle program record while winning the event on Friday before setting the new mark in the 200 in her first appearance in the event this season. The top two 200-meter times were set on Saturday as Ella Hopper took over the No. 2 position in the top 10 with her time of 24.41 seconds. Earlier in the day, Hopper broke her own 400-meter record with a time of 54.68 seconds to finish second at the meet.
Cameron Franklin also improved his own PR and school record in the 400 with a time of 47.81 seconds to finish second. He also had a personal best time (21.24) in the 200-meter race, which slots him at fifth all-time at UVU.
Utah Valley totaled 11 Top 10 personal records on Saturday, with Caidan Cooper recording top 10 marks in both the 200 and 400. Cooper ran the 400 in 48.90 for the No. 6 spot in the record book and was one of four Wolverines to finish in the top nine in the 200, with his time of 21.66 slotting him at No. 9. Kade Thompson (21.17) finished fourth, Franklin was fifth, and Gabe Remy (21.36) took fifth and is now seventh in the top 10 in that event.
A day after he climbed to No. 6 in the weight throw, Trevor Hill had a personal record in the shot put, with his best throw of 16.25 meters putting him third in UVU’s Top 10. Also, recording top-10 personal records were triple jumpers Caleb Washington and Taygin DeHart. Washington, who had a PR in the long jump on Friday, recorded the No. 8 mark (13.98) and DeHart, who was competing at Idaho State, also improved on the No. 8 mark in the women’s triple jump with her best mark of 10.94 meters.
Next week, the Wolverines are slated to compete at the Husky Classic at Washington and the Mountain State Games at Idaho State. It will be the final tune-up prior to the WAC Indoor Championships that run February 28-March 1 at The Podium in Spokane, Washington.
