The UTEP track team’s meet at the Conference USA Championships always was going to be about individual excellence rather than team finishes, and particularly on the men’s side, the Miners delivered several moments of brilliance on a Sunday when the teams combined for four gold medals.

Asa Guevera was the big highlight, shaving half a second off his personal best in the 400 to pull an upset win in 45.
