GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A day after posting three marks inside the program's top 10 performance list, the Louisiana Tech track and field teams added three more marks in the record book on the final day of the Pepsi Florida Relays at the James G. Pressly Stadium at Percy Beard Track on Saturday.
 
The 400m had two top 10 marks ran, one for the women and one for the men. Osaretin Joy Usenbor came just short of being the third female to break the 53-second but had the seventh fastest time in program history. The sophomore set a personal best of 53.00 to finish 12thg overall in the meet.
 
On the men's side, Sabastian Bradley-Reed had the fastest time by a male at Louisiana Tech since 2013. The indoor 400m record holder finished with a time of 46.59 in his first 400 outdoor for the seventh fastest time in program history. The junior transfer finished 19th out of 48 athletes in the collegiate division.
 
Jamara Patterson, Usenbor, Jenaia Williams and Nia Willey qualified for the women's 4x400 with the fifth-fastest time in program history on Friday at 3:33.93. The four runners were just short of that time but finished with the eighth fastest time at 3:34.47 to finish second in the collegiate division.
 
Patterson and Wiley each set PRs in the 400m before taking part in the 4x4. Patterson clocked a time of 53.23, just outside the top 10, while Wiley finished at 55.05. Two other Bulldogs set new PRs in the 100m. Praise Ofoku ran an 11.77 and Shayann Demeritte had an 11.94.
