Lawton, Oklahoma - The Cameron University Track & Field team delivered one of their most impressive meets of the season on Friday at the KT Woodman Invitational in Wichita, Kansas. With ideal weather and top-tier competition, nearly every Aggie athlete notched a personal best an exceptionally rare feat in the sport.

Among the standout performances were school record-breaking runs from Kaat de Staercke in the women's 1500m and Arnau Pujols in the men's 800m. Their achievements headlined a day full of momentum, motivation, and historic times for the Aggies.

On the men's side, Arnau Pujols delivered a powerful performance in the 800m, breaking his own school record with a blazing 1:52.71. His win in the heat and sharp pacing exemplified the Aggies' growing strength in middle-distance events.

Coach Johnson's Take
"We had a great meet Friday at Wichita," said Head Coach Zach Johnson. "Weather conditions were perfect and the competition was great. Almost everyone that competed got a personal best, which is rare in our sport. Arnau and Kaat both broke their own school records as well. That kind of momentum is exactly what we want to see heading into the final stretch of the season."

Looking Ahead
With just a few meets remaining before the Lone Star Conference Championships, the Aggies are peaking at the right time. If Wichita was any indication, Cameron is on track literally and figuratively for a strong postseason showing.
