DAY ONE RECAP

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Senior Jazmin Ratcliff tied her seasonal best in the 60-meter hurdles Saturday, as she and sophomore sprinter Genna Settle competed at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational for the Vikings at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
 
Ratcliff, the school record-holder in the 60-meter hurdles for the Vikings, finished the prelims of the 60 hurdles in 8.42 seconds Saturday, tying the time she ran on the same track at the Lobo Collegiate Invitational on Jan. 24. Ratcliff has ranked atop the Big Sky Conference in the 60-meter hurdles for the past three weeks on the back of her time at the Lobo Collegiate Invitational, and now holds the two fastest times in the event within the conference this season with her time Saturday.
 
Additionally, Ratcliff represents one of only two runners to crack 8.50 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles within the Big Sky Conference this season, and Ratcliff has now cracked 8.50 seconds at three of the four meets at which she's competed in the 60-meter hurdles this season.
 
Ratcliff just missed the finals of the 60-meter hurdles at the meet, but returned to the track for the 60 meters along with Settle. Settle finished 22nd overall in 7.63 seconds for the Vikings, while Ratcliff finished two spots behind her at 24 overall in 7.65 seconds.
 
Settle and Ratcliff will now prepare for the Big Sky Championships Feb. 26-28 in Flagstaff, Ariz., where they will be among the favorites in several events.
