Macklin Tudor and Adrian Valles set school records for the University of Cincinnati track & field programs on Friday at the Cardinal Twilight. The Bearcats combined to garner 11 top-three finishes, including three event titles.
// TUDOR RE-BREAKS HIS OWN RECORD
Junior thrower Macklin Tudor re-set his own school record in the discus throw with a toss of 201' 6". The Mount Orab, Ohio native's toss was good enough to win the event and set a new meet record. His throw moves to fifth nationally.
// VALLES SNATCHES POLE VAULT RECORD
Freshman pole vaulter Adrian Valles grabbed the Bearcats' outdoor pole vault record with a clearance of 18' 3. 25". The mark surpasses Josh Dangel's record of 17' 10.25", which was set last season. Valles' clearance moves him to fifth in the NCAA.
