Oklahoma Baptist's 4x400 relay team recorded the best time this season and OBU hit 15 qualifying marks at the K.T. Woodman Meet at Wichita State Saturday.

Keyonna Hornbuckle, Melissa Mount, Kyta Ferrer and Kyli Bean finished the 4x400 relay in second place behind Wichita State, but recorded the best time in that event across the NAIA with a 3:45.13.

OBU got big outings in the men's hurdle events with Patrick Brown and Lamar Baskin both qualifying in the 110 and 400 events. Brown won both with qualifying times of 14.10 and 52.38 seconds, respectively.

Baskin was fifth in the 110 at 14.72 and third in the 400 hurdles at 53.82.

OBU also was strong in the women's 800, where three Lady Bison qualified for the NAIA meet. Ferrer won with a 2:09.25, Bean was third at 2:11.39 and Mount was fifth at 2:16.20. All three times were in the NAIA Top 10 so far this season with Ferrer's the third best and Bean's the fifth best.
