Maswanganyi, Relays Shine in Final Day of Texas Relays

AUSTIN, Texas – The University of Houston Track & Field program women's 4x400-meter relay broke the school record and the men's 4x200-meter relay grabbed the world's top time at Texas Relays on Saturday at Mike. A. Myers Track and Soccer Stadium.

The 4x400-meter relay consisting of graduates Sydni Townsend and Kelly-Ann Beckford, senior Iman Babineaux and freshman Michaela Mouton finished second at 3:28.01. Their time broke the previous school record set in 1993 at the NCAA Championships. The relay team also ranks second in the nation.

The men's 4x200-meter relay of senior Davonte Burnett, junior Trey East III, freshman Cayden Broadnax and senior Shaun Maswanganyi finished in first place with a time of 1:21.55, where they now hold the fastest time in the world.

Maswanganyi also competed in the 100-meter final, claiming first place with a time of 10.09 (2.1 m/s). This ties the senior sprinter at No. 1 in the nation with two others. Maswanganyi is the first Cougar to win the event at Texas Relays since former University of Houston Track and Field Head Coach Leroy Burrell did so in 1986.
