MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University track and field team rounded out the final day of the 2024 Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship on Saturday evening in Waco, Texas.
Saturday's competition was highlighted by redshirt junior Cassandra Williamson who yet again etched her name in West Virginia's record book in the women's 800-meter race. Williamson collected a time of 2:03.87, finishing sixth overall earning All-Big 12 honors.
Williamson broke her previously held record of 2:04.51, which was recorded at the Bryan Clay Invitational earlier this season on April 12.
