LOGAN, Utah - On Saturday Utah Valley University's men's and women's track and field teams competed well at the Wilson Motor Invitational on the campus of Utah State University.

"It was a good meet for us today," UVU head track coach Scott Houle said. "We have used the last two weeks to get us ready for the season and help gauge where we are at competition wise. Our kids are definitely progressing and will be ready to square off against some stiff competitors next week in Boise."

Utah Valley's sprinters finished very well in the women's 60-meter dash as they were led by sophomore-transfer Jazmine Wittman who won the event with a blazing time of 7.82. Following right behind Wittman were her fellow running mates freshmen Natasha Martin (second), Amanda Morse (fourth), and Zandrea Nelson (sixth).

In the women's one-mile run Utah Valley placed second and third as freshmen Shelise Walker and Kalina Zufelt went two and three respectively. Also Wolverine freshman Nicole Knighton placed second in the women's shot put with a throw of 43'-09.75".

On the men's side of things in the 60-meter dash UVU true-freshman Mike Fogt led the way as he finished in fifth place with an impressive time of 7.03. Utah Valley Pole Vaulter Levi Ball placed third in that event to lead the Wolverines with a vault of 15'-07", as fellow freshman Jacob Hull placed fourth with a vault of 15'-01.25". Also UVU freshman Ty Bunting placed fifth in the men's shot put with a throw of 42'-11.00.

The Wolverines will be back in action next weekend, Saturday Jan. 24, in Boise, Idaho as they will participate in the Blue and Orange Classic on the campus of Boise State University.
