Members of the Arizona State University track and field team combined to win 13 events, including a sweep of five events, in the team’s final tune-up before the championship season as the Sun Devils competed in the Lumberjack Invitational on Saturday inside the Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff, Ariz. Ten marks recorded ranked among the Top 10 all-time in program history while the Sun Devils had 31 Top 3 finishes posted on the day.

Daniel Auberry had one of the top days for the Sun Devils as he won a pair of events, taking the 60m dash in 6.80 (altitude adjusted) and the 200m dash in 21.52.

The men’s pole vault was a three-way tie among three Sun Devils with Dylan Austin, Corey Phallen and Austin Prince all clearing 4.91m (16-01.25).
The final wins came in the jumps. For the women, Christabel Nettey took the title in the long jump with a mark of 6.18m (20-03.50). In the men’s triple jump, Chris Benard won the event with a leap of 15.80m (51-10.00), the fifth-best mark in ASU history.
On the school’s all-time Top 10 lists, five women added six marks while two other men added two times as well. The women’s list included two marks by Kayla Sanchez, who ran the seventh-best time in the 60m dash (aa 7.55) and the eighth-best time in the 200m dash (24.08). Staying on the track, Asia Gooden clocked the ninth-best time in the 60m dash (aa 7.63) while Samantha Henderson posted the eighth-best time in the 60m hurdles (aa 8.75).
The women’s weight throw produced a pair of Top 10 marks as Ashley Lampley and Cj Navarro posted the sixth and seventh-best marks, respectively. Lampley tossed the 20-pound weight to 17.45m (57-03.00) while Navarro hit a toss of 17.29m (56-08.75). Both men’s marks came in the 60m hurdles as Jamie Sandys ran aa 8.68 to post the sixth-best time in school history while Austin Prince’s time of aa 9.11 ranks 10th all-time.
