SAN MARCOS, Texas—The women’s 4×100-meter relay of Sammy Neil, Jacy Pulse, Anna Robinson and Erin Kinney took first Saturday at the Bobcat Invitational held at the Texas State Track & Field Complex.

Fourth-year junior Carly Haring, the lone field event athlete competing at Texas State on Saturday, tied for eighth in the high jump with a clearance of 5-5 ¼ (1.66m).
