SAN MARCOS, Texas – The Arkansas State men and Texas State women took home the 2018 Sun Belt Men's and Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship team titles on Sunday at Bobcat Track and Field Stadium on the campus of Texas State.

The Red Wolves entered the final day of competition in third place, trailing leader Texas State by nine points. Led by sprinters Jaylen Bacon and Elijah Ross, the Red Wolves picked up 116 points on Sunday, to total 159 and pass the Bobcats by 28 points.

Bacon won the 100- and 200-meter races - both with very fast times. Bacon's 9.99 in the 100 equaled his time in the preliminary. His time of 20.25 in the 200 was a new championship and facility record. It is also the second consecutive year Bacon claimed both sprint titles.

Texas State's women claimed cross country/track and field's "Triple Crown" as the Bobcats tallied 114 points on the final day and needed the meet's final event, the 4x400-meter relay to clinch their second consecutive women's title. The Bobcats had 25.5 points heading into Sunday's finals and earned several big wins, none more so than the 4x400-meter relay win.

The Bobcats went into the final event ahead of runner-up Arkansas State by four points and needed that to give themselves a chance at the title. Texas State finished first, giving the Bobcats ten points in the relay and the Red Wolves finished fourth, earning five points.

A-State's Calea Carr was named the women's top meet scorer. Carr won the shot put, finished second in the discus and was third in the hammer throw for a total of 24 points in her three events.

UTA's Justin Domangue was the men's top meet scorer. He was a double-winner on the weekend, taking home titles in the 10,000-meters and the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He was also the runner-up in the 5,000-meters as he earned 28 total points over three days running in the three longest races at the meet.

Ninety of A-State's 159 points came from six individuals, including Bacon, who tallied 21.5 points for the Red Wolves. Itamar Levi and Heinrich Herbst totaled 16 each for A-State. Levi was a runner-up in both the discus and shot put while Herbst was the 1,500-meter winner and a third-place finisher in the 800-meters. Ross totaled 13.25 points and Carter Shell and Cristian Raval Ladislau had 12 apiece.
