Coach Holland's Comments: Zachary Herman had a huge personal record in the shot put event to launch himself onto top NCAA standings alongside teammate Scottie Reyes. Reyes also had a good day in his throws today. Our sprinters ran some fast times and fared well in the 4x100.

We are always looking forward to the next week and how we can improve as we move along into the season.

Texas Lutheran will travel to University of the Incarnate Word on April 8-9 to participate in the UIW Invitational in San Antonio, Texas. For all updates on Texas Lutheran Track and Field, follow @tluthrows and @tluxctf on Instagram as well as as all official TLU Athletics accounts.
