AZUSA AND LONG BEACH, Calif. –  Across a tough four days of competition for the Ags, the team parted ways for the weekend and traveled down to Southern California to try their luck at the Beach Invitational and the Bryan Clay.
 
The distance squad impressed at the Bryan Clay in Azusa, while the shorter distances and field team took on the event hosted by Long Beach State. In all, the Ags came away with two new spots filled in the recordbooks by Maya Shinnick and Muhammed Ahmed, and three first place finishes by Nickolaus Santos, Caden Hicks, and Shinnick.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED (MEN):
Junior Muhammed Ahmed broke the fourteen-minute threshold in the 5,000 meter run at the Bryan Clay, clocking in a 13:58.42 and finishing fourth overall in the competition. With this, he writes himself second in the Aggie records, replacing the second spot in the 5,000 meter run that has held firm since 2015. He joins only two other Aggies who have been able to break the 14-minute mark in the entire trach and field program history.
 
Caden Hicks started the Aggies off strong at the Beach Invitational with a first place finish in the 3,000 meter Steeplechase, squeaking into the Aggie top-tens with a 9:05.29.
 
In the triple jump event, Nickolaus Santos earned first overall with a 12.96 meter flight.
