This past weekend, TCU Track and Field made a short trip up to UNT for the Bill Schmidt Invite. The Frogs experienced a 2-hour delay before their meet but weren't phased by the weather as they took home 8 event wins headlined by a pair of wins from junior Mohammed Kowa.

Stone Burke got the Frogs started with a first-place finish in the 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 9:30.19. Long distance runners Gabby Martin and Olivia Andrews finished 1st and 2nd in the women's 5000m with times of 17:34.04 and 17:48.25 respectively. On the men's side, Brayden Schick made his collegiate debut as he ran unattached and won the men's 5000m with a time of 15:01.61.

Kowa picked up his first win of the day by placing 1st in the men's 1500m clocking a 3:54.20. Later in the day, he would also place 1st in the 800m event as well. On the women's side, Anastacia Gonzales picked up an event win in the 1500m with a time of 4:33.63.

Sasha Crawford, Georgia Scott, and Gonzales finished 1-2-3 in the women's 800m event giving Crawford her first event win of the year. All 3 runners finished neck and neck with times of 2:13.23, 2:14.26, 2:15.91 respectively.

For the sprinters, Finn Dunshee finished 2nd in the men's 100m event with a time of 10.50. On the women's side, Bryce Brazzell, a freshman from Byron Nelson High School, finished 4th overall in the event with a time of 11.81. Mikayla Hayes logged a time of 11.72 in the prelims but unfortunately didn't run in the final.

In the field events, Yannik Knobloch took home an event win in the men's long jump with a distance of 7.28m. Alleah Krote took home the triple jump title with a distance of 12.37m.
