PITTSBURG, Kan. – Oklahoma City opened the indoor track season with some strong performances at the Crimson and Gold Invitational on Saturday.

Vanessa Perez in eighth in the 400 at 57.65.

On the men's side,
Demarion Dean was third in the 600 meters at 1:11.14 and
Hendrick Ramirez placed fifth in the mile at 4:19.81.
Â
"OCU performed well today" said OCU Head Coach
Andrew Leahey. "Lots of PRs with
Tabytha Roy in the 60 hurdles (9.76),
Demarion Dean in the 600yd (1:11),
Isaiah Smith in High Jump (1.92m), and
Erika Pena in the 3K (10:13).
Vanessa Perez had her fastest opener in the 400 with a 57.65, and Belle Spiller broke 11 minutes in her first 3K. Good start for our athletes and coming out of Christmas Break training, I have no doubt they are going to come out stronger for the indoor season."
