Lubbock, Texas -- The men's 4x400m relay made program history this past Saturday afternoon at the 2018 NJCAA Indoor National Track & Field Championships hosted by Texas Tech University.

Entering the meet, the Warriors were ranked 16th in the event with a school record best time of 3:19.53. The relay demolished their previous best, winning their heat with a new school record time of 3:15.81, finishing 8th overall in the second slowest heat (5 heats total). Each individual ran their fastest relay split of the year: Randle (49.2), McClenny (48.9), Kubli (49.2), Parks (48.3).

The 4x400m relay was not the only school record to go down. Brieon Randle etched his name in the record books, running 48.96 in the men's 400m prelims (23rd overall).
