Wildcats Finish WAC Championship with Men in 5th and the Women in 6th
5/17/2025 11:18:00 PM | Track & Field
ARLINGTON - On a terribly muggy day in Arlington, the Wildcats had a strong start for Day 3 in the field events as Kailey Roskop topped off her ACU career with a 4th place finish in the discus (to go with her 3rd place finish in the hammer). Donovan Ramirez finished 5th in the triple jump in his first outdoor championship after missing the entire 2024 with a medical redshirt. Ja'Dasia Sims completed her stellar ACU career with a 2nd place finish in the high jump. Stone Smith finished his ACU career with a 5th place finish in the discus. Luize Velmere just made the finals in the triple jump on her 3rd jump and she went on to finish 2nd in a huge personal best (PB) of 41-5.75/12.64 – moving her into the #8 all time on the ACU performance list.
On the track the premier performance came from Kenan Reil, who finished 3rd in the 400 hurdles with a time of 52.52 in just his 2nd time to run the event. Placing 6th were Miguel Hall in the 110 hurdles with a time of 13.91 and Benjamin Cortez in the 800 in a time of 1:53.02. Notching 7th place finishes were Ethan Krause in the 200 with a time of 21.31 and Andruw Villa in the men's 5K with a time of 14:59.02. Finishing in 8th place were Hana Banks in the 100 hurdles in a time of 14.27 and Emma Santoro in the 400 in a
57.98.
Note: Late on Friday night, after a 4-hour weather delay ACU had 2 athletes score points in the steeplechase – Peyton Bornstein placed 6th in the women's race in a time of 11:18.08 and Mark Barajas finished 7th in the men's race with a PB time of 9:19.38. To finish up the meet, the men placed 5th in the 4x400 with a time of 3:14.58 – a quartet
composed of Landon Gary, Canaan Fairley, Benjamin Castro, and Ethan Krause. That will give ACU a 5th place finish in the team race with 56 points. The women's team finished 5th in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:52.38, with Ja'Kaylon Record, Emma Santoro, Gracee Whitaker, and Jess Reyes running. The women's team finished 6th with
59 points.
