USU track and field grabs the gold three times at the Mountain West indoor championships last week in Albequerque, NM.

The first gold came from senior AJ Boully’s 46.48 time in the 400m race. That time also put him second in all-time school history.

Boully continued the gold streak with Michael Bluth, Brady Martin and Joshua Gordon in the 4X400m relay.

The third first place athlete was junior Clay Lambourne in the 800m. His gold in this event completed a three-peat and recorded the second of all time ranking in school history.

“He ran like a veteran,” head coach Gregg Gensel said of Lambourne. “That isn’t surprising though, because he is a veteran. He understood what was going to take place and he made his plan off of that, coming up with a big win.”

The women’s side of the meet for USU improved its score from last season’s 2 points to 22. Brenn Flint placed second in shot put, Cierra Simmons and Tylee Newman placed third and fourth respectively in the mile.

Overall the women’s team finished ninth of eleven in the conference and the men finished in third of six.

The NCAA indoor championships will be held in College Station, TX, March 10-11.
