Husker Invitational
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn track and field set five new personal bests and posted two top-five finishes on the final day of the 42nd Annual Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational on Saturday.
"I am proud of how hard we competed overall on the weekend," Auburn head coach Ralph Spry said. "We didn't get all of the marks we wanted today, but we showed some improvement across the board. Now we just need to keep improving for next weekend at Clemson so we can go into SEC Indoors with some confidence."
Kahlil Henderson posted a personal best in the men's 200-meter with a mark of 21.26 to finish second. Henderson's time ranks as the tenth-best time in Auburn history and 14th this season. He was followed by Randall Ceneus, in fifth with a time of 21.45.
Mark Rubalcaba finished third in the men's triple jump for his second third place finish at the meet. The sophomore jumped a 49-10.5/15.20m on his second jump of the day. Rubalcaba ranks ninth in the SEC with a mark of 50-2.75/15.31m, set on Jan. 28.
The Tigers will return to action next weekend as the squad splits for the Iowa State Classic and the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational for their last tune-up before the SEC Indoor Championships. The distance runners will travel to Ames, Iowa for the meet on Feb. 10-11. The meet will be broadcasted live on FloTrack.com. The rest of the squad will travel to Clemson, S.C. and compete on Friday and Saturday.
