Victoria Cameron stole the show on Saturday, April 4 winning the women’s 100 meters while running the top time in the NCAA this season and the second-fastest time in the world this year at the 98th annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays hosted by Texas at the Mike A. Myers Stadium.
The Texans brought home a pair of medals with Cameron taking gold and Jalen Cadet earning bronze in the men’s long jump. Davi Torres also placed second in the High Jump B competition. Overall, the Texans had four top five finishes and had six athletes reach the finals of their events.
Cameron became the first Texan to win a gold medal at the Texas Relays in the Texans’ Division I era. The Stephenville native now holds the top time in the NCAA this year and is the secondfastest in the world.
“Competing at the Texas Relays is always a great test for our program,” said head coach Bobby Carter. “We had some strong performances with top three finishes in the 100 meters, high jump, long jump, but more importantly, it’s about getting out there and competing. This time of year, we’re not chasing marks or times, we’re focused on execution. Every meet has its purpose, and this one was about sharpening our approach and continuing to build towards what we know we’re capable of later in the season.”
