Frank Guzman Shines at Kansas Relays



LAWRENCE, Kan. - Shot putter Frank Guzman led the DePaul contingent at the 75th Kansas Relays last weekend by placing eight in the invitational shot put competition.  Diana Runnels also had a strong showing with a sixth-place finish in the 400-meter dash.

Guzman, already a NCAA provisional qualifier in the shot put, threw with some of the nation's top shout putters in the invitational competition.  His distance of 18.33 meters (60'-1.75") set a new school record while eclipsing the 60-foot barrier.  Runnels placed second in her heat with a time of 56.86 before taking fifth in the 400-meter finals at 57.94.

Other top finishers for the Blue Demons included the distance medley team of Kai Murray, Salvador Andrade, Will Lazicki and Luis Samayoa.  They placed fourth with a time of 10:13.39.
