DAY THREE RESULTS | 
HIGHLIGHTS
LAS VEGAS -- Kristen Brown, Jasmine Burrell and Shanieka Thomas each won individual titles to maintain the No. 22 San Diego State track & field team's lead at the Mountain West Championships Friday in Las Vegas.
The Aztecs sit in first place with 73 points with seven of the 21 events completed. New Mexico is second at 57 points, while Colorado State (37), Boise State (28) and Nevada (20) round out the top five.
Brown captured the pole vault title, while Burrell claimed the discus throw and Thomas the long jump on the third day of the championship meet.
Brown cleared 13 feet, 7 ¼ inches (4.15 meters) to continue SDSU's dominance in the pole vault as it has now won 17 titles at the Mountain West Championships out of 28 possible tries (indoor and outdoor). Brown, who also won the indoor meet, beat out 16 other entrants in the event.
Burrell won the discus with a personal-best toss of 181-05 (55.31m). It was the fourth-best mark in program history for Burrell, who captured her first outdoor title and second overall (also 2013 indoor shot put) in an event that featured 18 competitors.
Thomas took home first-place honors in the long jump with a wind-aided leap of 20-07.25 (6.28m). It was the fifth career MW championship for Thomas, who also won three triple jumps (2012-13 indoor and 2012 outdoor), a 4x400-meter relay (2013 indoor) and this year's long jump (2013 outdoor). Thomas' best legal mark was 19-10.25 (6.05m), which ranks seventh all-time at SDSU.
"With one more day of finals to go I believe that we are ahead of where we wanted to be after today," head coach Shelia Burrell said. "The performances that these women are putting up today are a testament to their desire to contribute to the team's goal. Jasmine Burrell's discus win is a big boost for her and the team. We had multiple conference champions today as well as multiple athletes stepping up and placing in the top five in events. We need to stay focused and have a good day tomorrow."
Other athletes who scored for San Diego State on Friday included Brittany Bozeman in the javelin (third, season-best 143-06 (43.74m)), Nicole Oudenaarden in the long jump (fourth, wind-aided 19-08.75 (6.01m)) and the javelin (fifth, 141-00 (42.97m)), Karen Snapper in the pole vault (fifth, 12-03.50 (3.75m)), Alexa Evans in the discus (eighth, 151-02 (46.09m)) and Holly Waseloff in the pole vault (eighth, 11-11.75 (3.65m)).
On the track, the Aztecs qualified 12 into tomorrow's final. LaQuisha Jackson won the 100 prelims in a wind-aided 11.31 seconds and was second in the 200 in a wind-aided 23.49, while Brown (collegiate-best 13.56) and Deyna Roberson (58.91) won the 100-meter hurdles and 400 hurdles, respectively.
Others who advanced were Allison Reaser in the 100 hurdles (second, 13.63) and 400 hurdles (second, 59.22), Chelsea Kruthers in the 800 (second, 2:09.45), Alex Evans in the 100 hurdles (fourth, collegiate-best 13.86), Renetia James in the 400 (fourth, 55.96), Karsen Sper in the 100 hurdles (sixth, 14.26), Oudenaarden in the 400 (seventh, 56.31) and Josefine Koskinen in the 800 (eighth, 2:10.17).
