ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Tarleton State once again had a record setting weekend with four student-athletes breaking school records, this time at the New Mexico Team Open Friday-Saturday in Albuquerque.
“These young men and women had a great weekend of competition,” said interim head coach Chase Rathke. “They not only competed at high level, but they pushed their teammates and supported them throughout. It was a joy to watch them compete and to take down four school records is amazing. We are just scratching the surface and I truly believe this team has a lot more room for growth.”
David Mvundura got the school record breaking started for the Texans at the New Mexico Team Open when he broke the school record for the Indoor Men’s 200 meter. Mvundura ran a time of 21.42 topping Justin Raines’ time of 21.57 last season.
Not long after Mvundura broke the first school record of the weekend, Hanna Dudley broke another school record. Dudley broke the Indoor Women’s 200 meter record after posting a time of 24.41, beating the previous record of Nyla Barlow (24.53) set in 2022.
