Women's 4x100 set collegiate record at the Texas Relays.
AUSTIN, Texas – The No. 1/3 Texas track and field program earned Big 12 weekly honors after an electric showing at the Texas Relays, the conference announced on Wednesday.
The women's 4x100 relay of Julien Alfred, Ezinne Abba, Rhasidat Adeleke and Kevona Davis set a collegiate record in the event with a time of 42.00 to earn female performers of the week honors. The women took down the LSU record of 42.05 set in 2018 to defend its Texas Relays title.
It's the third time Alfred has won the Big 12 weekly award this season, second for Adeleke and first for both Abba and Davis in their careers.
Leo Neugebauer was named Co-Men's Big 12 Performer of the Week after defending his decathlon Texas Relays title and setting the NCAA-leading score of 8,478 points. Neugebauer's score also took down Trey Hardee's 17-year UT program record and now owns both the heptathlon and decathlon Texas records.
On his way to back-to-back Texas Relays titles, Neugebauer set four personal bests along with the second-best throw ever from a decathlete in the shot put just .01 off the record at 16.66m (54-8).
Wednesday's award is the first time this season and second in his career Neugebauer has earned Big 12 performer of the week honors.
