LOGAN, Utah — Utah State track & field athletes won six individual titles, earned 15 podium finishes and posted five top-10 performances in school history at the Bryan Clay Multis in Azusa, California, from Thursday-Friday, the Weber State Spring Classic in Ogden, Utah, on Friday and the Utah Spring Classic in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday.
In Azusa, junior

Competing alongside each other in Group B, Richards finished fifth in the group with 7,101 points while Dupee placed 10th with 6,789 points. The native of Perry, Ohio, surged from 10th to fourth in Aggie history on the strength of his pole vault mark of 5.10 meters (16-8.75) that topped the entire field at the Bryan Clay Multis. Dupee's score, which ranks 10th all-time, was bolstered by personal bests in the shot put and pole vault.
