TULSA, Okla. – The University of Tulsa indoor track & field team opened the 2016 season Friday, Jan. 6, when they traveled to compete in the Bill Easton Classic at Lawrence, Kan. The Golden Hurricane had strong performances from seniors Alex Lybarger and Bryce Robinson, while freshman Cecilya Johnson had a notable performance for the women.
 
Lybarger won the men's weight throw with a final distance of 17.41 meters, and he broke his previous record with a total distance of 57-01.5 to place second on TU's career weight throw list for men. Johnson won the women's weight throw with a final distance of 16.74 meters, and her total distance of 54-11.25 was enough to place second on TU's career weight throw list for women.

Robinson started the season fast running a 6.62 to win the men's 60-meter dash, and his time currently ranks 2nd in the NCAA. Robinson's time broke his previous record for third place on TU's career 60-meter dash list for men, and with that time he now holds all the top five times in Tulsa history.
