FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Baylor track and field athletes racked up 12 top-10 finishes to close out action at the Tyson Invitational at Randal Tyson Track Center Saturday.
Annie Rhodes produced another school record in the pole vault as she cleared 14-5.25 [4.40m]. That mark earned her a fourth-place finish in the event and kept her with the fourth-best mark in the NCAA for the current indoor season. Rhodes has now broken her own school record in the event twice in 2016.
Cion Hicks saved her best for last as she produced a personal-best throw of 57-0.75 [17.39m] on her final attempt of the shot put to finish second in the event. The junior from Copperas Cove, Texas, has now notched a personal-best in every meet this season.
