COLLEGE STATION -- Freshman Daniel Shelton broke his own week-old school record in the 800 and anchored the 4x400 to another HBU record Friday to lead the Huskies at the Texas A&M 13-Team Invitational at the McFerrin Athletic Center. Shelton finished fourth in the 800 at 1:55.50 to trim .41 off the record he set at the UH Indoor Opener, and he brought the baton home first in heat one of the 4x400

He teamed up with Jordan Claypool, Jarell McFarland and Cody Hammonds to clock 3:20.66 and break the previous record of 3:22.07, set last year. A stunning 48.72 lead-off leg by Claypool set the tone, and HBU never trailed in the heat to finish eighth overall.

Taylor Thomas continued her impressive streak of performances in the long jump, picking up bronze with a leap of 5.57m/18-3.25, and Kierstin Santana was sixth in the 800 with a season-best 2:16.02 before helping the Huskies' 4x400 to another season best of 3:56.06 to place fifth overall. Jazmine Warden had the best race of her HBU career on the opening leg of that relay, splitting 58.79, and Santana handed off to Roneisha Webb, with Jaivairia Bacote on the anchor leg. The other HBU relay finished seventh at 3:57.14 with a team of three freshmen and a sophomore.

Other scoring performances for HBU included Lakesha Cameron's sixth-place finish in the 200 at 25.19, .09 ahead of freshman teammate Tambrisha Banks, who placed eighth. Carolyn McClanahan was eighth in the mile at 5:26.68, and Michelle Chukwujekwu took eighth in the triple jump.

For the men, Juan Fraga was seventh in the mile with a solid 4:20.47, while Oscar Garcia notched a season best in the 5000 at 15:37.47. Decathlete Shawn O'Brien had a pair of personal bests in the 60 hurdles (8.41) and shot put, and fellow multi-eventer Garrison Fick also had a productive day with lifetime bests in the 60 and shot put before anchoring one of the Huskies' 4x400 relays with a PR 49.50 carry.

HBU's next meet is Jan. 30-31 at the University of Houston's Howie Ryan Invitational.
