The University of Cincinnati track & field programs began the 2015 outdoor season on Friday at the Disney Track & Field Open in Orlando, Florida. The Bearcats had a strong showing on the first day garnering four first-place finishes.

Both the men and women brought home relay titles in the untraditional sprint medley. The foursome of Kenya Woodall, Jalisa Jarrett, Jada Grant and Kaitlyn Good ran a time of 4:02.15 to win the relay. Their time ranks fourth in Cincinnati history. The men's quartet was comprised of Tevin-Lloyd Thompson, Jaashir Morris, Alexious Sherman and Nick Williams.

Junior thrower Macklin Tudor had a quality day as he won the men's discus and took third in the hammer throw. His hurl of 186' 10" in the discus won the event and was eight feet under his own school record, which he set last season.

Tariq Sanders is the other Bearcats student-athlete to bring home a title as he won the men's triple jump with a leap of 45' 6.25".

Cincinnati caps off the Disney Track & Field Open tomorrow with running events beginning at 7:30 a.m. and field events slated for 8:30 a.m.
