Three record-setting speedsters return to help SDSU's relay team set a promising pace for 2022
The Aztec track and field team wrapped up the Texas Tech Open Saturday, their first indoor meet of the season. The day was highlighted by the SDSU 4x400m team running the second fastest time in the program's indoor history. The team of Rhea Hoyte, Jalyn Harris, Sakura Roberson and Nyjari McNeil finished in 3:39.44, which earned them fourth place.

Harris finished right behind her, crossing the finish line in 24.25 to earn ninth place.
Hoyte (35th, 25.22), Aisha Watt (48th, 25.62), Anaya Alexander (59th, 26.07), Tai McDonald (66th, 26.242) and Vanessa Spizewski (76th, 26.90) also competed in the 200m dash.
