AZUSA, Calif. – MSU Denver competed in high level events for a second straight day Friday in the Los Angeles area and posted multiple quality performances.
 
Star 800 meters runner Nick Nowlen was in the most prestigious event of the day, the Mt. SAC Relays. Nowlen placed 24^th in the field of 46 in 1 minute, 51.19 seconds, which was .51 seconds behind his personal-record time from Thursday at the Bryan Clay.

Also in the 800 meters, Brandon Bodner posted a personal best for the second straight day and finished 14th among a field of 88 at Long Beach State's Beach Invitational in 1:52.24. That puts Bodner fifth individually among all competitors in the event in MSU Denver history.
 
Szuch turned in another outstanding time, this time in the 5,000 at the Beach Invitational. His second-place effort of 15:06.50 makes him the ninth-fastest individual in the event in program history. That came just one day after his 10,000 at the Bryan Clay Invitational put him fourth individually and sixth all-time in program history.
 
"What a great weekend," MSU Denver coach Janis Christopher said. "The distance squad absolutely made the most of its opportunity. Every race, they were taking advantage of being at sea level and executing their race plans the way (associate) coach (Amanda) Rego laid them out. To walk away from a weekend like this with so many personal-best (10 for the distance runners) performances is exciting!"
 
The Roadrunners' sprinters were in action Friday at the Bryan Clay Invitational and headlining those efforts was Kamryn Scott's personal-best 400 time of 58.47. It improved her status as the Roadrunners' fourth-fastest individual in the event and was good for 64^th place overall in the deep field.
 
"On the sprints side we had some very good performances as well," Christopher said. "Maya (Ries) ran a good time Friday, which gets her very close to matching her all-time best in the 100 hurdles.

"And Kamryn Scott, in her senior appearance, led the way for the sprint crew with PRs in all three of her races. It was a culmination of four years of hard work. We are so proud, not only of the way these Roadrunners competed, but also of how they represented our team and the university."
