Emmanuel Wells picks up where he left off before the pandemic and wins 100m at USC Invitational...
Wells, who did not get the opportunity to race at last year's NCAA indoor championships as the meet was cancelled before it started because of the global pandemic, broke away from the field to win in a time of 10.38, currently the ninth fastest time collegiately.
In Friday's opening session, WSU's Carolina Ulloa-Daza competed in the hammer throw. Ulloa-Daza posted an impressive Washington State debut finishing second, with a throw of 191-feet 3 inches (58.30m), which is a WSU freshman record in the event, and is fifth best all-time in Cougar history as well.
Charisma Taylor continued her dominant streak, picking up where she left off during the indoor season, running a 13.45 in the 100-meter hurdles. That time from Taylor is the second-best all-time in Washington State history as well. Emily Coombs earned the win in the pole vault, posting a mark of 12-feet 11 1/2 inches (3.95m).
