01.31.2025 | Track and Field
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Iowa State women and No. 6 men ended day one of the Razorback Invite strong with a school record and three top 10 program performances.
Makayla Clark dominated the 800m field, posting the fastest time by a collegian with her school-record 2:02.44, currently the No. 2 time in the nation. Clark finished right behind Shafiqua Maloney representing Saint Vincent, who finished fourth in the 800m final at the Paris Olympics. Maloney posted a world-leading 1:59.87.
Clark downed Jasmine Staebler's 2017 record of 2:03.08. The 800m specialist now owns three school records, as she broke the 600-yard run record last week and the 1,000m record last season.
In the men's 800m, three Cyclones broke 1:48 led by first-year Cyclone Aman Thornton with a 1:47.53. The time debuts the senior at No. 8 on Iowa State's indoor performance list. Darius Kipyego clocked a time right after with 1:47.65 in his first 800m of the season, and Dugion Blackman hit an indoor personal best with 1:47.84.
Cam Jones improved on his season best in the weight throw by eight inches with 73-9 1/2 (22.49m) to finish second behind two-time national champion Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan.
Kaitlyn Burson and Ella O'Neall hit weight throw season bests. Burson threw 64-3 (19.58m) for sixth and O'Neall 55-10 1/4 (17.02m) for ninth.
The women's distance medley relay closed the night finishing sixth in 11:18.27, now the seventh-fastest time in Iowa State history.
The Razorback Invite and BU Terrier Classic continue tomorrow. Following the Razorback Invite and BU Terrier Classic, the Cyclones return home to host the Iowa State Classic Saturday, Feb. 8.
