Reynolds Posts All-Time NCAA Mark, Morris Joins Another Top-10 List

BOULDER, Colo. & ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (January 31, 2025) – The University of Wyoming track and field program recorded an All-Time NCAA weight throw mark, broke yet another school record and saw two first-place finishes on day one at the Colorado Invitational and the New Mexico Team Open, on Friday afternoon.

COLORADO INVITATIONAL

Senior thrower Daniel Reynolds continues to improve his personal best every week. In the weight throw, Reynolds posted the No. 11 NCAA All-Time mark with his throw of 79’ 9 1/4” (24.31 meters) to gain a first-place finish. He also extended his school and Mountain West record and holds the No. 2 mark in the NCAA this season.

Freshman Charles LaFore set a personal best and grabbed second in the weight throw at 61’ 10 1/2" (18.68 meters). Sophomore Colt Sotelo also set a personal best with his throw of 58’ 3 1/2” (17.77 meters) for fourth overall.

All other results from day one of the Colorado Invitational were not received at the time of this post. They will be included in day two’s recap.

NEW MEXICO TEAM OPEN

Two Cowboys, senior Kareem Mersal and junior Remar Pitter, and one Cowgirl, freshman Taliah Morris, competed in the long jump in Albuquerque. Mersal finished fourth overall, and third among collegiate competition with a distance of 25’ 2 1/2” (7.68 meters), a mark he achieved on his first attempt. Mersal’s season-best jump now ranks him No. 14 in the NCAA. Pitter jumped to 15th with a mark of 21’ 11 3/4” (6.70 meters) in his first meet of 2025.

In the women’s long jump, Morris finished sixth with a distance of 18’ 11 1/4” (5.77 meters) on her first attempt. Morris also competed in the unseeded 200-meter dash. In her first collegiate 200 meters, she ran to first with a time of 23.82, after altitude conversion, the No. 4 time in indoor school history. In just three meets, the freshman is now on two Top-10 school lists, the long jump and 200-meter.
