Mutai takes gold in Texas Relays, Kent sets personal record in javelin

Sophomore Daniel Mutai, who missed all of the 2011 indoor sea­son due to NCAA rules, won his first title in the 5000 meter race.

He finished the Texas Relays with a time of 14:52.15, holding off the next opponent by less than a second.

His time earned him the third-fastest in the Sun Belt Conference this season.

Also competing for the War­hawks were javelin throwers Kyle Kent and Richard McKay.

McKay rounded up the top-five with his throw of 69.04 meters, with training partner, Kent, finish­ing behind him in sixth place with a mark of 68.58 meters, his best of the season.
