ABILENE—Tarleton Track & Field competed at the ACU Wildcat Open hosted by Abilene Christian University on Thursday.
 
"We had a lot of bright spots and we had some races I felt really good about, said head coach Pat Ponder. "We are hitting our peaks at the right time as our throwers had a good day setting some personal records, I thought the 4x400m relay teams performed well today. "I am pleased with our overall results and we will now get healthy for the Lone Star Conference Championships."
 
Ashley Johnson ran a career best 55.68 in the 400m dash which was fast enough to crown her champion in her event, her time was also an NCAA provisional mark.
