NORMAN, Okla. – Eastern New Mexico men's track and field finished out the regular season with strong performances in field events at the Crimson & Cream Qualifier hosted by the University of Oklahoma.

"This is the type of meet we needed," said head coach Joshua Harden after the meet. "Next week at conference we need to go out there and replicate it."

Strahinja Radakovic had a season best 8.01s time in the 60m hurdles. He won the event with an 8.14s time in the finals. He is the top rated runner in the Lone Star Conference entering the championships hosted in Albuquerque this coming week.

Newcomer Andre Smikle bettered his own school record in the weight throw with a 15.41m mark. He now ranks fourth in the LSC in the event. He also threw 13.78m in shot put in Norman. He sits 12th among all throwers in the conference in shot put. Smikle was joined by Braden Pry who boasted a 14.57m throw in the weight throw and improved his mark which ranks fourth all-time in school history.

William Mclilly cleared 1.91m at today's meet in the high jump. His 1.95m mark from earlier this season still sits second in conference rankings.

Eastern New Mexico will now prepare for the conference meet set for next weekend in Albuquerque. The two-day meet will feature the top student-athletes in the LSC all meeting in the Land of Enchantment.
