GoFrogs: Johnson Breaks School Record on First Day of Texas Tech Shootout

LUBBOCK, Texas — TCU wrapped up day one of the Texas Tech Shootout on Friday with a school record and several collegiate-best performances.

Record Breaker
Jill Johnson broke the women's indoor high jump record by clearing 1.81m (5-11 1/4). She won the event and owns the best mark in the Big 12, which is also tied for 8th nationally. The freshman has now won the high jump in back-to-back weekends.

She joins sophomore Tysen Townsend, who broke fellow teammate Kendahl Shue's pole vault record by clearing 12-11 3/4, as a 2020 record breaker.

Men's 200m
Tinotenda Matiyenga turned in the 6th best time in the NCAA after clocking a 20.28 in the men's 200m.

All four Horned Frogs (Matiyenga, Simbarashe Maketa, Blake Hennesay, Glenn Bender) who competed in the 200m placed in the top 20 and registered collegiate-best performances.

Maketa - 21.272 - 10th
Hennesay - 21.279 - 11th
Bender - 21.54 - 18th

Women's 800m
Mariah Castillo ran a collegiate-best time of 2:11.89 en route to a 4th place finish.

Day Two Tomorrow
The Texas Tech Shootout continues tomorrow starting at 11 a.m.
