Pittsburgh, Kansas- In a spirited showing at the recent invitational meet, the OLLU Saints delivered several notable performances across sprints, jumps, and distance events, underscoring both depth and promise in the program.

Jordan Butler recorded a 5.90m effort in the men's long jump for 31st place, while Jadae Freeman finished 13th among the women's long jumpers with a leap of 5.15m. In the high jump, Emanuel Francisco cleared 1.92m, a mark that now stands as the school record, surpassing the previous best held by Alex Sattley. Willis Thibeaux produced a standout in the men's triple jump, claiming 4th with a 13.88m jump.

Distance runner Diego Moran earned a podium finish in the 5000m run, crossing in 14:57 to place 3rd. In the 60m hurdles, Damien DeLeon clocked 8.18 for 8th place. Among men's sprinters, Isaiah Huerta posted 6.94 in the 60m dash for 19th, joined by teammates Houston Ifah (7.04), Sean Lin (7.04), Yvann Agah (7.06), and Jimmie Salas (7.18), demonstrating the squad's depth in short sprint events. On the women's side, Morgan Young (8.10), Sa'Nya Auguste (8.12), Nataley Doka (8.15), and Samantha Solis (8.57) all competed in the 60m dash.

On the men's side, the 600m run saw Joshua Veliz placing 7th with a time of 1:13, establishing a new school record in the process. Middle-distance efforts continued as Isai Moran ran an 800 m in 1:56 for 11th place, a mark that is now the new school record, closely followed by Joseph Gonzalez's 1:57; Hernandez posted 2:31 in the women's 800m. In the 200m dash, Jalen Bell led OLLU contenders with a 21.88 for 5th place, while Nataley Doka posted 26.22 for 26th overall.

On the longer side, Isai Moran claimed 9th in the 3000m with a time of 8:52.

Taken together, these results reflect a team not relying on a single standout, but presenting a balanced roster with sprinters, jumpers, middle and long distance runners contributing across the board. The new school records, high jump, mile, 600m, and 800m, highlight that individual athletes are raising the standard. The presence of competitive finishes in events ranging from sprints to long-distance runs, plus relays and field events, suggests OLLU is building a foundation of depth and versatility that could pay dividends in future meets.
