The University of Tulsa track team wrapped up action Saturday at the Windy City Invite and the Gorilla Classic.
In Chicago, Christian Baker earned a first-overall finish in the mile run. The junior from Kirkwood, Mo., finished in 3:59.88 on the way to picking up his third career first-place finish. Baker's time on Saturday—a new personal best—marks the third-fastest mile in Golden Hurricane indoor track history.
Also cracking the all-time top ten was Micheal Power. The senior from Dungarvan, Ireland, finished 7th in the 5,000-Meter Run Invite with a time of 13:40.96, the fifth-fastest finish in Tulsa indoor history.
Overall, the Tulsa women added five top-ten finishes, including four in the 3,000-Meter Run (Chloe Hershenow, Layla Roebke, Sara Scott and Jemima Antoniazzi).
On the men's side, TU athletes accounted for nine top-ten finishes, including three in the 3,000-Meter Run (Malte Propp, Shuiab Aljabaly and Johnny Livingstone) to wrap up the Windy City Invite.
Tulsa will have one more opportunity to compete at the Arkansas Qualifier on Friday, Feb. 17, before heading to Birmingham, Ala., for the American Athletic Conference Indoor Championships spanning Feb. 24-25.
