AUSTIN, Texas – ULM senior Daniel Mutai finished third in the men's 5,000-meter run to cap off day two of the 86th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays at Myers Stadium.
In his first appearance of the season in the 5k, Mutai registered a Sun Belt-leading time of 14:39.34 to finish just behind Columbia's Paul Snyder (14:29.75) and McNeese State's Alex Bruce-Littlewood (14:30.82). ULM freshman Dusan Makevic came in 15th place in a time of 15:25.16.
Earlier in the day, junior Martin Solomon ran a personal-best time of 52.51 in the preliminaries of the men's 400-meter hurdles to win his heat, but finished in 10th place overall in a loaded field and was just shy of qualifying for the finals. Solomon -- who was competing in the 400 hurdles for just the second time this season -- has the third fastest time in the Sun Belt.
Sophomore Jamel Sams also ran a season-best time of 53.40 in the 400 hurdles to finish fifth in his heat and 20th overall. His time ranks in the top five in the Sun Belt this season.
On the women's side, freshman Brianna Reid clocked a time of 1:07.99 in the 400 hurdles.
The Warhawks continue action at the Texas Relays Friday with the men's high jump, men's 110-meter hurdles, men's 4x100-meter relay, men's 4x400-meter relay and the men's distance medley relay.
