LOS ANGELES, Calif. / AZUSA, Calif. — Washington State men's and women's track and field teams combined for four top-10 all-time finishes on the third and final day of the Bryan Clay Invitational, while a group of Cougar throwers tallied four top-two finishes down the road in Los Angeles at the UCLA Legends Invitational on Saturday to cap a busy week of competition in Southern California.

Grant Buckmiller shaved .08 seconds off of his season-best time in the men's 400m dash, clocking a 46.09 to win Saturday's Bryan Clay Invitational and improve the sixth-best 400-meter time in Cougar men's history.  Jasneet Nijjar followed with a 52.79 in the women's 400m, the best time of her career on an outdoor track and the third-fastest in program history.

John Paredes later won the men's 110m hurdles in a lifetime-best 13.68, the seventh-best time in Cougar history, and the men's 4x400m relay team finished second in the fifth-best time in program history at 3:06.56.

Ronald Grueso Mosquera picked up the lone win for the Cougar throwers at the UCLA Legends Invitational, reaching a first-place mark of 18.24m.  Nana Gyedu hit a season-best 15.69m in the women's shot put, while Cody White (javelin, 59.79m) and Mason Mahacek (discus, 41.47m) each recorded PR's in their respective field events from Drake Stadium.

Next Up:
Washington State will stay on the Palouse next weekend as it gets set to host the 2024 Cougar Classic, the first home track meet in almost two full years on Saturday, April 20, at Mooberry Track.  The Cougar Classic will feature mostly competition from other Pacific Northwest schools, and represents the penultimate pre-championship meet for WSU before making the trip to the 2024 Pac-12 Championships (May 10-12) in Boulder, Colo.
