AUSTIN -- The Texas women wasted no time setting off fireworks, smashing their own collegiate record in the women's 4x100m with a blistering 41.55 finish in the opening race on the track on Day 2 of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
The Longhorns did a number on the record books in their first race of the meet. Their time broke the collegiate record of 41.89 they set at the Big 12 Championships in May, lowered the facility record of 42.00 they set at the Texas Relays in April, and took down the meet record of 42.09 set by LSU in 2018 and broke the facility record.
Texas has now broken the collegiate record three times this season.
The time currently ranks No. 1 in the world and ranks as the 18th fastest on the all-time world list.
Kentucky (42.30), Ohio State (42.68), LSU (42.84), USC (42.88), Georgia (42.93), Oregon (43.09) and Arkansas (43.10) advanced to Saturday's final behind Texas.
