TCU earned nine event wins at the season-opening TCU Alumni Invitational, which was highlighted by a new facility record in the men's 5000m and the javelin school record.

In her debut meet for the Purple and White, Maria Bienvenu recorded the new javelin school record with her throw of 52.41m (171-11). She broke the record on her first attempt.

Graydon Morris started off his outdoor season strong, running a 14:11.50 in the men's 5K, setting the Lowdon Complex facility record in the process. His winning time was also the fifth-fastest time in school history.

London Culbreath joined Morris as the 5K winner on the women's side with her time of 17:02.69. Peyton McQuillan (17:07.67), Mariana Martinez (17:14.06), and Olivia Andrews (17:38.17) finishing second, third and fourth, respectively.

In his first ever steeplechase, Stone Burke ran the fastest steeplechase by a Horned Frog since 1999 and the third-fastest steeplechase in school history, winning the event with a 9:26.22.

TCU again had two of the top finishers in the men's 1500m. Ryan Martin took first place with a 3:55.52 and Gabriel Diaz finished in third with a 3:57:17.

The Frogs swept the 400m, with Kelaiah Daniyan picking up the first win of her career with a 55.57. On the men's side, Dominic Byles ran 47.37 to grab first place.
