LAWRENCE, Kan. – Faith Turner raced to a third-place finish in the 60 meters with a time of 7.51 to record to the third-fastest time in Wichita State track and field history Friday at the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular.
 
Turner is now just 0.13 away from the program record, sitting behind Nikki Larch-Miller (7.38; 2017) and Audacia Moore (7.44; 2011) on the WSU all-time list. Her time also ranks second in the American Athletic Conference (AAC).
 
The Shockers claimed four event titles on the men's side with Michael Bryan throwing within a meter of his own school record to win the weight throw with a toss of 20.25m/66-05.25. Joakim Genereux led the way in the sprints with a victory in the 200m (22.01) and a second-place finish in the 60m (6.93). Genereux's 200-meter time currently leads the AAC.
 
On the distance side, Adam Moore battled with Michael Melgares from KU to claim a hard-fought mile win, and then came back to take second in the 1,000 meters later in the meet. In the final individual event of the day, the Shockers swept the top three spots in the 3,000 meters with Clayton Duchatschek snagging the win in 8:28.62, followed by Trey Rios (8:32.40) and Jackson Caldwell (8:35.31).
 
Brady Palen placed third in the high jump with a conference-leading mark of 2.09m/6-10.25 and Dowdy Elazarig jumped 15.03m/49-3.75 to finish second in the triple jump. Dae'Trell Gordon also earned another second-place finish in the shot put with a throw of 15.74m/51-7.75.
 
For the women, Yazmine Wright came off her AAC Championship win to earn two top-three finishes, placing third in both the mile (5:03.79) and the 1,000 meters (2:54.96). Paula Garcia joined Wright and Turner in the top three with her second-place performance in the 400 meters with a personal-best time of 56.30.
