SANGARE AND SHINNICK EARN MPSF ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONORS: The Aggies' indoor campaign was highlighted by a pair of MPSF Female Athlete of the Week honors.
Kadidja Sangare earned the first weekly award of the season following a first-place finish at the Silver State Invite where she set a then-school record in the long jump (6.04m).
Maya Shinnick followed with honors after the Nevada Invite, where she secured two second-place finishes in both the 400m (54.35) and 200m (24.01). Shinnick's performance in that 200m dash set a new program record with a time of 24.01.
RECORD-BREAKING MARKS: The UC Davis record books were constantly rewritten throughout the winter, beginning with a historic back-and-forth in the long jump. After
Kadidja Sangare set the program record in the season opener,
Kylee Davis surpassed that mark at the Nevada Invite, leaping 6.06m to take first place and claim the new school record.
Sangare added more history at the Battleborn Classic, clocking an 8.66 in the 60m hurdles to shatter a school record that had stood since 2010.
Maya Shinnick continued the momentum in the 400m dash, resetting her own school record with a time of 53.71 to take second place at the Battleborn Classic.
TOP FINISHES: Beyond the record-setting performances, the Aggies consistently found the podium across four regular-season meets.
Kylee Davis secured second place in the long jump (5.86m) at the Silver State Invite and later took first in the high jump (1.69m) and third in the long jump (5.98m) at the Battleborn Classic. At the Nevada Invite,
Peyton Adams raced to third in the mile (5:05.56),
