ARLINGTON, Tex. - UT Arlington won four field events and turned in tremendous performances in several events Saturday at the 35th annual Bobby Lane Invitational at Maverick Stadium.

Cordero Gray turned in the fastest collegiate time in the 100m and the second-fastest time among collegiate athletes in the 200m. The Mavericks senior sprinter recorded a time of 10.26 in the 100m, which places him eighth in the NCAA this season. He also clocked a time of 20.77 in the 200m, which would have placed him in a tie for fifth in the NCAA were it not for excessive winds. His 100m time stands in the NCAA top marks.

Shannon Reynolds turned in the top 200m time among collegiate athletes with a mark of 23.94. DeAndrea Smith turned in the next fastest time among collegiate athletes of 24.25.
