Iowa track and field competed in five separate meets over the weekend, from California to Texas to Florida, and put together stellar performances at all of them, breaking four school records. The record-breaking started early in Texas when James Carter Jr. set a school record in the Men's triple jump with a 16.68m jump that also won the event. Max Murphy wanted in on the fun too, breaking the Iowa record in the Men's 5,000-meter race with a 13:39.77 time at the Stanford Invite. Texas was again the site of history Sunday, as the men's 4x100 relay team (Kalen Walker, Austin Kresley, Gratt Reed, and Damoy Allen) set a school record with a blistering 38.70s time, besting the previous record by more than three-tenths of a second. Not content with just a single school record on the day, Kresley also set a school record in the Men's 100m, running a 10.19s race. Walker was right behind him, finishing in 10.20s to claim 2nd all-time at Iowa.

Elsewhere in Hawkeye sports, Iowa Gymnastics came up just short of qualifying for the regional finals, but Jerquavia Henderson finished 2nd in both the Floor and the All-Around and Adeline Kenlin finished as the runner-up on Beam. The team's season has come to an end, but it was unquestionably a success, including a school-record team score and impressive individual performances. On the diamond, both the Baseball and Softball teams went 1-2 over the weekend and each will feel as though they left a win or two on the table. Brody Brecht put together a huge weekend, striking out 14, hitting 104 on a pitch and, being named to the mid-season All-American team.
