However, individual scores were recorded. Junior thrower Derek Wherley, who had the school’s indoor shot-put record at 13.02 meters, broke that record by .01 meters on Saturday.
According to track and field coach Shawn McMahon, Wherley, who has thrown further than 13.03 meters outdoors, “stands to break the indoor record several more times this year.”
The team has been training since the first week in November, and McMahon is “very excited about how hard they are working.”
With their hard work and dedication, McMahon said this year’s track and field team is off to a strong start.
SMU will host an invitational meet on Saturday, Feb. 2.
