NEW YORK — Michael Bryan placed fifth in the 200 helping the Texas A&M men take the men’s title Saturday at the Collegiate Invitational.
Aliese Hyde helped the Aggies set a school record in the women’s 3,200-meter relay and placed seventh in the 800 as the Texas A&M women finished fourth behind Clemson, BYU and LSU.
The Texas A&M men took the men’s title with 85 points and Clemson won the women’s crown with 93 points.
LSU finished second in the men’s standings with 75 points, followed by Mississippi State with 59. BYU was runner-up among the women with 64 points, followed by LSU with 60.
Hyde, a Harker Heights graduate, teamed with Tiffany Singleton, Jillian Anderson and Hillary Hagan to post a 8:55.27 for second place in the 1,600, bettering the previous A&M mark of 8:58.79 set at the same meet last year.
“A couple of us didn’t have good races earlier in the meet, so this was an opportunity to bounce back and do something for the other two runners on the relay,” said Hyde, who finished the the 800 in 2:14.40. “We knew BYU was going to be the main competition going in.”
Bryan, a former Ellison standout, finished the 200 with a 21.32-second time.
BYU set the Armory and meet records in the women’s 3,200 relay, clocking at 8 minutes, 37.97 seconds. The old Armory mark of 8:39.34 was set by Villanova in 2010. The old meet record of 8:47.76 was set by BYU in 2010.
Nachelle Mackie of BYU set the Armory collegiate and meet records in the women’s 800 meters at 2:03.56, breaking the mark of 2:04.54 set by LaTavia Thomas of LSU in 2009.
