SAN MARCOS, Texas—The Speed Demons stole the show for Northwestern State, as the sprinters showed the region how strong of a unit it has on the final day of competition at the Bobcat Invitational on Saturday on the campus of Texas State.

Dynia Lewis (100-meter hurdles), Sileena Farrell (100-meter dash, Tavis Wilson (100-meter dash) and Elijah Rowe (100-meter dash) all posted personal bests on the third and final day at Texas State.

"It was a pretty good day," head coach Mike Heimerman said. "We did some things well and didn't in some the spots. We will learn and move forward. I am very pleased with those sprinters, and Jalya (Mason) had a great day.

"Ryah had a solid day, but there are lots to work on. It was a long three days of competition and today was hot and sunny, which is a drastic change from the first two of the meet. We will get back to work on Monday and keep building towards conference."

Lewis kicked the success off with a time of 13.87 in the 100-meter hurdles to place eighth out of 45 finishers. Silet Gray clocked a 14.43 to place 21^st, barely missing out on a personal best herself.
