YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The University at Buffalo track and field team opened up their 2019-20 indoor season on Friday afternoon as they competed in the Youngstown Ice Breaker hosted by Youngstown State University.
The day was highlighted by three Bulls receiving automatic MAC qualifying scores. In the weight throw, senior Sam Wray won the event with a score of 18.91 meters, which is fourth in UB's all-time list in the event. Wray now holds the third and fourth top scores in school history as he scored a 19.65 meters in the 2018-19 indoor season.
Also receiving an automatic bid to the MAC Championships was Anthony Clark in the 60 meter hurdles as he finished in a time of 8.06. This time ties Mike Morgan (2015) for fifth on UB's all-time list.
To top the day off, Nisa Raqib stampeded her way to a first place finish in the triple jump with a score of 12.77 meters. This score also stampeded to the top of the UB all-time records list as she has now topped a 16 year record of 12.75 meters held by Biaunca McFarland (2003). Raqib has also qualified for the MAC Championships in the first meet of the season.
Jeremy Lissade made the finals for the 60 meter dash and finished in 6.92, good for second place. Lissade is now in a four-way tie for ninth place on UB's all-time list with Dan Schichtel (2010), Joshua Gali (2017) and Roy Richards (2004).
In the 200 meter dash, Priscilla Faa cracked in the top-10 in UB's record books as she had a personal record in the event with a time of 25.21.
Katriel Perrier ran a strong 400 meter dash as she finished in ninth place in a time of 57.92.
Earnie Burapan won the pole vault with a score of 12-02.50/3.72 meters. Burapan tied her record from last season for eighth on the all-time UB list.
In the women's 5000 meter run, the Bulls had three runners finish in the top-10. Riley Jones finished in second place in 17:48.94 with Dana Lynch (fifth place – 18:22.75) and Meghan LaTuso (sixth place – 18:24.95) right behind. All three of the runners each earned their personal-bests in the event with Jones beating her previous time by nearly 20 seconds.
"This was a solid opener for both the men's and women's team," Head Coach Vicki Mitchell said. "We had a lot of newcomers to the program competing in their first collegiate meet, and many returners open with personal best. We will use this meet to evaluate our training and preparation over the next 4 weeks to our next meet."
The Bulls next meet will be on Saturday, Jan. 11 in Ann Arbor, Mich. as they will compete in the Wolverine Invite, hosted by the University of Michigan.
