Houston, Texas – Cedric Perry placed ninth in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles and was among seven Tornados who posted a season-best time in a sprinting event to pace the Concordia University Texas men's track & field team at the Texas Southern Relays held on March 18-19 at the Alexander Durley Sports Complex.

Perry, who entered the weekend with one of the nation's top 15 times in the 400-hurdles, navigated the track in 57.58 seconds. The freshman also ran a season-best time of 52.23 seconds in the 400-meter dash, placing 19th overall in the event.

Led by Bryce Elarms and James Washington, the sprinters collectively put together their best effort of the season while competing primarily against NCAA Division I competition. Elarms, a transfer from Texas Southern lowered his mark in the 400-meter dash for the second straight meet by hitting the tape in 50.69 seconds. It was also the second-fastest time recorded by an American Southwest Conference student-athlete this spring. Washington registered times of 11.57 and 23.21 in the 100- and 200-meter dash events, respectively.

The Tornados also fielded two relay teams at the prestigious meet. The 4x200-meter relay squad, which was anchored by Elarms, finished second in its heat and sixth overall in 1:30.66. Jarmarion Jenkins, Washington and Marion Holiday were also members of the group.

Concordia will return to action to compete at Trinity on Friday, April 1.
