The sun set on Day Three of the 85th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays on Friday, and the University of Wyoming track and field program took away some notable performances.

Cowgirl results
The 4-by-400-meter relay team was 29th overall, which included senior Lindsey Simmons, junior Diana Long, freshman Audrey West and sophomore Taylor Gardner. The foursome earned a time of 3:47.22 in the event, a season best. Long and West each ran their legs of the race in the 56-second range, marks that Wyoming coach Don Yentes called "outstanding."

The quartet of sophomore Jenna Mann, West, Simmons and senior Chantel Bernabo crossed the line with a time of 48.30 seconds in the 4-by-100-meter relay in 37th overall.

In the 100-meter hurdles, Mann was 45th (14.40) while senior Maggie Ochsner was 65th, 15.0.

Cowboy results
The Wyoming 4-by-100-meter relay team was 25th, hitting a mark of 41.96 seconds. In the 110-meter hurdles, junior Brandon Douglass earned a season-best time along with a top-20 finish. Douglass was 19th in a loaded field with a time of 14.60 seconds. Teammate Michael Tasker, a junior, was 40th with a time of 15.32.

"Brandon ran a nice race in the hurdles," Yentes said.

Junior Travis Gunderson was 54th in the 100-meter dash (11.03) while in the high jump, junior Tyler Skinner was 12th, crossing the bar at 6-6 ¾.

"It was good to get a little taste of what track and field is like and some exposure for the kids," Yentes said. "They should feel a little bit more at ease when the big meets come rolling in."

Action wraps up Saturday in the Texas Relays, while a large contingent of Wyoming tracksters will compete in the Fum McGraw Quad in Fort Collins, Colo., on Saturday.
