The Sun Angel Track Classic celebrated its 29th edition with several meet records, and a Paralympic World Record in the men’s high jump.
Lopez Lomong led the charge in a scintillating Men’s Invitational 1500 meter run, where the top 11 finishers ran sub-3:43.

The Arizona State University Track and Field program hosted its second meet of the 2008 outdoor season, the ASU Invitational. The meet produced 17 NCAA regional qualifying marks for the Sun Devils. It was also a homecoming of sorts for several former Arizona high school state champions, including Kristin Phillips, Tara Erdmann, and Natalie Johnson, who were competing for their respective out-of-state schools.
