Records were broken, Olympians ran with collegiate freshmen, and food and water was sold at a ridiculous price.
Welcome to the outdoor track and field season.
The first meet for the Sun Devils, the Baldy Castillo Invitational, took place on their home field at Sun Angel Stadium. The meet had a lot of top talents competing including ASU’s top women’s thrower Maggie Ewen. Ewen, who broke the invite’s hammer throw record, throwing 72.71 meters, at a meet she wasn’t even supposed to compete at.
Head coach Greg Kraft had plans to shut her down for the meet but after Ewen “pestered”, she was given a crack at it.
