SAN ANTONIO, TX - MARCH 30, 2012: — The University of Texas at San Antonio posted 10 victories at Friday's Trinity University Tiger Relays Track & Field Meet at EM Stevens Stadium on the campus of Trinity University.
Leading the way was the 400-meter relay quartet of freshmen Shahira Ehiemua and Chiugo Okonkwo and sophomores Krystal Wynn and Jhorden Hunter, which peeled off the third-best performance in program history in winning the event. The foursome passed the baton around the Trinity University Track & Field Complex oval in 45.63 and that ranks as the top time in the Southland Conference this season.
Hunter also won individual gold for the Roadrunners. She stopped the clock in the 100m in 11.82 seconds, with a wind of 1.2 metres per second, beating unattached athlete Martin Cloutier-LeBlanc (11.86) and UTSA teammate Wynn (11.94) in her outdoor season debut. In the 200m, Ehiemua had a personal-best 24.76 to win; Hunter's 25.38 left her in fourth place.
Hunter's best time in the 100m came at the beginning of the 2012 season, when she was timed in 11.60 seconds at the Trinity Alumni Classic, her season opener.
