Houston, TX - The Tiger track team had a solid showing against mostly Division I and Division II competition at the Victor Lopez Classic meet hosted by Rice University. The long distance events took place Friday night while the other sprint and field events took place Saturday.

Trinity's distance crew showed that they were still a dominating force, even after having just competed at NCAA Division III Indoor Championships just two weeks prior. Leading the way was senior Chass Armstrong in the 1500m run. He took second place with a time of 3:55.54. Teammate Zach Brush was close behind with a time of 3:57.30, a new personal best for the now two-time All-American.  

Not to be outdone, senior Bryant Wright made his first track 5,000m appearance a good one cutting a whopping 28 seconds off of the school record previously held by Cliff Ruehl. His time of 14:53.36 was good for fourth place in the highly competitive race. Wright was only seconds shy of the NCAA provisional mark of 14:48.00.

On the women's side Junior Caitlin Masse followed up her sixth place finish at the indoor championships with a provisional mark in the 5,000m race. Her time of 17:32.77 was good for eleventh place at the meet and now seeds her third in the nation.

The Tigers will compete at home this coming Friday, April 2nd, at the Tiger Relays.
