Lindsey cracks 20 seconds in 200 in Tech home finale

Texas Tech sprinter Courtney Lindsey ran the 200 meters in a wind-legal 19.94 seconds Saturday at the Fuller Track Complex, one of the highlights for the Red Raiders in the Corky/Crofoot Shootout.

Three men broke 20 seconds with James Dadzie from Western Texas College running 19.79 and Isaam Asinga from Celebrity Athletics clocking 19.97.

Lindsey's time ranks fourth in NCAA Division I this season and third in the Texas Tech record book. Four-time NCAA sprint champion Divine Oduduru ran wind-legal times of 19.73 and 19.76 during the 2019 season.

The meet was the last of the regular season for the Red Raiders, who have the Big 12 outdoor track and field championships May 12-14 at Oklahoma.

Tech freshman Antoine Andrews tore down the track in a wind-assisted 13.46 to win the 110-meter hurdles. The time ranks Andrews 11th in NCAA Division I this season. South Plains College's Justin Guy took second in 13.57.

The Red Raiders have three of the top 13 in Division I in the triple jump, two of those performances coming Saturday. In a 1-2-3 finish by Tech, Omamuyovwi Erhire won with a mark of 53-8 1/2, Keyshawn King hit the sand at 53-0 3/4 and Chris Welch went 52-0 1/2.

The marks by Erhire and King were season bests, putting them at No. 10 and No. 13 in Division I. Welch is No. 11 with his mark of 53-5 3/4 at the Texas Relays.

Other Tech men's winners Saturday included Garrett Wade in the javelin (218 feet, 2 inches) and Logan Fraley in the pole vault (17-5 3/4).

Lubbock Christian University's Bryce Spencer won the hammer throw with a mark of 205-2, and the Chaparrals won the 400-meter and 1,600-meter relays. The team of Nathaniel Luna, Ryan Gordon, Keitron Boyd and George Garcia clocked a 40.42 in the sprint relay. The lineup of Boyd, Chris Rader, Gordon, Garcia ran 3 minutes, 13.50 seconds in the 1,600 relay.

Tech's Demisha Roswell won the women's 100-meter hurdles in a wind-assisted 12.89. In the triple jump, former Tech NCAA champion Ruth Usoro won with a mark of 46-4, and next behind her were Red Raiders Ruta Lasmane (45-5 1/4) and Onaara Obamuwagun (45-0 1/2).

Lasmane, who's been out with a stress reaction in her back, competed for the first time since the 2023 NCAA outdoor championships. She and Obamuwagun are now No. 4 and No. 7 in Division I this season.

South Plains College won the women's 400-meter relay. Success Umukoro, Corlasia Scott, Maria Umoibang and Breanna Clarke got the baton around in 44.70.
