FORT WORTH – As the outdoor season heats up, TCU track and field splits for the Tom Jones Memorial and the Mt. SAC Relays on April 17-18.
The Horned Frogs will send a group of 23 athletes to Gainesville, Florida, for the Tom Jones Memorial Invite. The highly competitive meet features some of the nation's top teams, including Auburn, Baylor, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, among others. Out west, a group of three TCU athletes will jump at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California. Pole vaulters Ben Kirbo and Michael McCloy are joined by high jumper Ashvin Balaramana at the historic meet.
Heading into the weekend, the Frogs still have four athletes ranked in the top 25 in their respective events. London Tucker continues to hold rankings in both the 100m and the long jump, sitting 17th and 24th, respectively. Tia Williams climbed up to the No. 13 time in nation in the 400m hurdles after an impressive run last weekend in Waco. Jayden Douglas held his spot in the top five in the 400m hurdles among the men, and Ben Kirbo is ranked 23rd in the country in the pole vault.
Last weekend, TCU competed in the Baylor Invitational. The women's team secured a time of 42.91 in the 4x100m relay, the second fastest time in program history and No. 4 time in the nation in 2026. Georgia Scott ran away with the 1500m title, dropping nearly eight seconds off her personal best time. The Frogs also picked up a podium sweep in the women's triple jump thanks to Alleah Krote, Hannah Forde, and Genesis Jackson.
On the men's side, Damilare Olukosi recorded a season best of 15.33m (50-3 ½) to win the triple jump in Waco. Zach Troutman also collected an event win in the 3000m and was part of a strong TCU showing in the 1500m where three of the top four finishers were Frogs.
