Phoenix, AZ – The Firestorm Track & Field program took a short trip down highway 101 to compete at Paradise Valley Community College on Saturday.  They had multiple season best performances including freshman Nadyr Menard running 7.11 in the 60-meter dash, sophomore Daniel Kpeh hurdling 60 meters in 8.90, and sophomore Isaac Linan set new personal bests in both the 800 with a 1:56.69, and the 1000 with a time of 2:37.45.

In the throws section, All-American TaHaj Acoff easily won the shot put with a throw of 53' 3".

Thoughts from Head Coach Brian Bell
"We were excited to see so many great performances this early into the indoor season.  Particularly from our throwers and middle-distance crew.  There was also an amazing 4x400 relay.  The men's team is looking really strong."
