FORT COLLINS, Colo. - University of New Mexico senior David Lloyd won his first 100-meter race of the year and led the UNM 4x100m relay team to its first victory of the season to pace the Lobos' effort on Saturday at the Jack Christiansen Invitational. True freshman Kimilia Davis finished second in the 400 and third in the 200 to lead the New Mexico women.

Lloyd and junior Chris Garofola finished 1-2 in the 100, clocking altitude adjusted times of 10.90 and 10.95, respectively. Lloyd also placed fourth in the 200 meters with a season-best time of 21.58*, while Garofola was fourth in the 110-meter hurdles (15.03*). The duo then led the men's short relay team to a winning time of 41.25*, its second fastest of the year. In other sprint action, true freshman RaShawn Jackson clocked the Lobos' fastest 400 of the season, finishing in 48.77* (5th). Junior Jordan Parker had a solid day in the field, recording a career-best throw of 155-01.00 in the discus (15th).

The Lobo women enjoyed a strong performance in the 200 meters as Davis (25.81*), freshman Brandilyn Williams (25.95*) and sophomore Erin Teske (26.28*) finished 3-4-6. UNM also ran well in the distance events as juniors Amanda Swann (4:47.23) and Sarah Gonzales (18:58.23) both finished second in the 1,500 and 5,000-meter runs, respectively.

In the field events, senior Keren Sari-Bentzur recorded a season-best mark of 19-03.50 to finish second in the long jump, while junior Erin Johnson tied for second in the high jump with a season-best leap of 5- 04.50.
