AUSTIN, Texas - Baylor senior Jordan Willmann (Llano, Texas) scored 5,228 points in the heptathlon to finish third at the 77th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays Thursday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.

Willmann finished behind UTSA's Ryanne Dupree (5,383) and the Big 12 indoor pentathlon champion Ashley Selig (5,316). Willmann might have scored higher if not for stumbling in the third turn of the final event, the 800 meters. She made a nice recovery to finish third in the event with a time of 2:19.52. Willmann was the highest scorer in the shot put with a mark of 12.37 meters (40-7) for 686 points.

Junior Danielle Myricks (Willingboro, N.J.) won her heat in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 59.63 to qualify for Saturday's finals, while freshman Lauren Tillman (Lawrenceville, Ga.) ran a time of 1:08.32. Seniors Megan McCoin (Houston, Texas) finished eighth with a time of 17:38.01 and Erin Dixon (Kingwood, Texas) finished 17th at 18:29.81 in the 5,000 meters. The women's 4x800 relay finished 10th with a time of 9:10.33, while senior Brandon Baker (DeMotte, Ind.) clocked a time of 57.17 in the 400-meter hurdles.

The Bears will have athletes competing all day Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Live results will be posted on www.texassports.com.
