Meet info/schedule
In last week's Baldy Castillo Invitational at Sun Angel Stadium, Ralford Mullings earned himself the second all-time place in the men's discus, going 62.47/204' 11" in his first outdoor meet as a Sun Devil. Jamar Marshall Jr. (110H) and Beatrice Llano (hammer throw) both earned the Pac-12 Athlete of the Week honors for their winning marks. Marshall ran a 13.60 in the 100m hurdles, winning the event and putting himself second in the NCAA. If he wasn't already the program record holder at 13.49, his time this past weekend would rank sixth in ASU history. He followed that by running the third leg of ASU's second-place 4x100m relay, which posted the fifth-best time in the nation this season (39.45). Llano threw the hammer 67.52m/221-6, winning the event by eight feet. She too sits second in the country after opening weekend.
