AZUSA, Calif. – The Boise State track and field team closed out the weekend on a high note, securing several top performances at the Bryan Clay Invitational and Multis.

Dafni Georgiou kicked off the day with an 11th-place finish in the 100m hurdles. The freshman set a new personal best by almost half a second, running 13.68. That mark moves her to second on the school record book, behind only Megan Olivetti's 13.66, set in 2008. Georgiou now owns the second-fastest marks in school history in both short hurdle events – the 60m hurdles and 100m hurdles.

Her time moves her to fifth on the Mountain West performance list, and would rank 38th on the West Region qualifying list entering the weekend.

In the long hurdles on the men's side, Boise State got solid showings from both Ryan Cavinta and Jose Rubio. Cavinta set a new personal best of 52.82 to improve on his Mountain West-leading time, while Rubio ran 54.86. Cavinta's time was the ninth-fastest on the day.

In the men's 100m, Boise State got strong showings from the trio of Bryce Kirby, David Pierce and Brayden Durfee. Kirby won his heat in 10.46 to place seventh overall, while Pierce (10.69) and Durfee (11.11) set new personal bests.

Pierce would win his heat of the 200m, but an error in the meet's timing system would cause the entire heat to be discarded.

In the night session of the meet, the Broncos got several strong races in the 1,500-meter events. Henry Mong and Allie Ostrander both put themselves in contention for receiving a bid to the West Preliminary Round. Mong's time of 3:45.75 set a new personal best, while Ostrander finished ninth overall in 4:14.76. Boise State also got strong showings on the women's side from Alexis Fuller (4:21.21) and Kristie Schoffield (4:22.10).

In the women's triple jump, Taj Dorsett finished 12th in 39'-5.75" (12.03m)

Across the city at The Beach Invitational, Kendra Noneman set a new personal best in the hammer throw. Her best toss 192'-3.5" (58.61m) set a new personal best by roughly a meter.

With the weekend concluded, Boise State now enters the final stretch of the regular season. The Broncos will host the Border Clash, April 26-27, at Dona Larsen Park – their lone home meet of the outdoor season.
