COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Senior Daryia Greene ran in two events this week at the NCAA West Regional to complete the San José State University's outdoor track and field season.
Greene started her week with an impressive showing in the 400m on Thursday, May 27, cruising to a mark of 53.92 seconds. She then joined Kaiya Johnson, Sophie Liao and Gabby Spencer in the 4x100 relay on Saturday, May 29.
The Spartans began the race in lane three and did not complete the relay.
"I am really proud of all of the athletes that qualified for the NCAA's this year," said director of track and field Kendra Reimer-Gonzales after the meet. "This was one of the most challenging track seasons I have ever seen and the athletes persevered through obstacle after obstacle. It has been a great learning experience for a very young team. All of our NCAA qualifiers are returning for next season and we are excited about 2022."
Greene placed 28th in the 400m on Thursday, finishing just four spots outside of the advancing athletes. She qualified for the meet after clocking a school record mark of 53.54 two weeks ago at the Mountain West Championships in Clovis.
The program's 4x100 team entered regionals ranked 17th after the Spartans notched a school-record time of 44.94 seconds at the conference championships.
The Spartan women's program finished the 2021 outdoor season with a trio of top-three finishes (and one team title) in their four meets with team scoring.
