PUEBLO, Colo.— Zayden Davis and the 4x100 and 4x400-meter relay teams all set school-records to lead the Colorado Mesa University men's track and field team on a strong third and final day of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships on Sunday here at the CSU Pueblo ThunderBowl.
 
Davis won the 110-meter hurdles in a Maverick record-smashing time of 14.42 seconds while the relay teams both finished second to help the Mavericks claim sixth place in the final team standings with 77 points.
 
The 4x100-meter relay squad of Sterling Brassfield, Beau Thornton, Kade Christensen and Elijah Williams also set a NCAA provisional qualifying time of 40.69 seconds while Dayne Ortega, AJ Smallwood, Austin Reese and Kelsey Montague capped the meet with their record-setting time of 3:15.69.
 
Davis, the first Maverick man to ever win a conference championship hurdling title, had run a wind-aided time of 14.40 seconds in Saturday's prelims and smashed the Mavs' official record of 14.65, which had been set by D'Angelo Foster in 2019, on Sunday.
 
The relay records broke CMU's earlier season-best times of 40.86 and 3:16.70.
 
The relay runners also had some strong individual efforts.
 
Williams took third in the 100 meters with a time of 10.53 while Christensen was eighth in 10.62 before taking eighth in the 200, with a time of 22.19 seconds.
 
Meanwhile, Ortega took fourth in the 400 meters while Montague was fifth.  Smallwood finished eighth as all three set personal-record times of 48.90, 48.91 and 49.13.  They now rank second, third and fifth in program history with those times.
 
Elsewhere, Casey McDaniel finished fifth in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 54.83 seconds.
 
In the field, Dallas Davis III led the Mavs with a fourth place mark of 53.32 meters (174-11) in the javelin throw.  Cameron Kalaf finished 11^th in his RMAC Championship debut with a throw of 47.83 meters (156-11) while Dawson Heide placed 13^th at 47.65 meters (156-4).
 
In the shot put, Hayden Riley took fifth with a throw of 16.06 meters (52-8.25) while Jameson Moore finished 17^th with a mark of 12.84 meters (42-1.5).
 
Eddie Kurjak also scored for the Mavs, finishing eighth in the triple jump with a mark of 14.28 meters (46-10.25), which allowed him to move up two spots to fifth in program history for the discipline.
