Wilson's Top-Five Finish Highlights Aggies' First Day in Albuquerque

Four Aggies earned top-10 finishes, led by senior Keyarha Wilson's fifth-place effort in the high jump, during the opening day at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Collegiate Invitational.

ALBUQUERQUE - Senior Keyarha Wilson came .01m shy of matching her indoor career best in the high jump, hitting a mark of 1.70m to claim a fifth-place finish in the event Friday at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Collegiate Invitational.

Wilson's performance led the way for the NM State track & field team, which recorded four top-10 finishes as a team during the first day of the competition, hosted by New Mexico, inside the Albuquerque Convention Center.
