AUSTIN – The first day of action at the 2017 Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays, presented by Spectrum concluded on Wednesday afternoon at Mike A. Myers Stadium. Five events in the men's decathlon and four events in the women's heptathlon were contested.

Men's Decathlon
Texas A&M's Lindon Victor leads the men's decathlon following the first day of action with 4,516 points. He has a healthy lead on Rice's Scott Filip (4,252) and BYU's Kevin Nielsen (4,064) who sit in second and third, respectively.

"Anytime I get up here, my coaches and I are happy," Victor said at the conclusion of Wednesday's five events. "I came out here just to have some fun. I know the Texas Relays is a good place to do the multi. I heard Trey [Hardee] was going to be here, and he's my idol, so might as well do it with the collegiate record holder.

Victor, whose name is fitting as the defending NCAA Champion in the event, enters the final five events (contested Thursday: 110-meter hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500 meters) with his sights set on Trey Hardee's collegiate record of 8,465 points set at the 2006 Texas Relays.

Texas' trio of junior Steele Wasik (fourth), senior Wolf Mahler (fifth) and freshman George Patrick (sixth) all had strong days and sit in good position heading into day two of the decathlon.

"This is my first Texas Relays," Wasik said. "I never did it in high school, but it is so cool to have a home meet, especially for the decathlon. It's a good environment; we've got all the families out and in the next few days all the fans will pile in."

In the first event of the day – the 100 meters – Victor won with a time of 10.63. He narrowly edged out Texas Ex Trey Hardee, whose collegiate record he will try to beat on Thursday. Mahler (10.79), Patrick (10.84) and Wasik (10.95) finished fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

BYU's Nielsen was victorious in the long jump with a distance of 7.42 meters. He barely edged out Rice's Filip (7.41m) and Texas' Patrick (7.38m). Wasik (7.03m) and Mahler (6.95m) finished seventh and eighth in the event.

Victor was back atop the leaderboard in the day's third event – the shot put – with a distance of 16.52 meters. He was followed by Hardee (15.00m) and the Longhorns' Wasik (14.14m). Mahler also had a top 10 finish in the event, finishing ninth with a distance of 12.67.

All three Longhorns finished in the top eight of the high jump. Texas A&M's Victor won the event at a height of 2.09 meters. Patrick (2.00m) finished fourth, Wasik (2.00m) sixth and Mahler (1.97m) eighth in the event.

Mahler and the Longhorns finished the first day strong, as the Texas senior won the 400 meters with a time of 48.03 seconds. Filip (Rice) and Victor (Texas A&M) finished second and third, respectively, to close strong first days.

Women's Heptathlon
Erica Bougard, a graduate of Mississippi State and member of Chula Vista Elite, leads the women's heptathlon with 3,740 points. She finished second in the 100-meter hurdles, won the high jump, was 13th in the shot put and closed the day with a strong third-place finish in the 200 meters.

"It always feels good when you're in first place," Bougard said following Wednesday's events. "I know I have a lot of work to do. I'm not in first place by a lot of points so I definitely have to keep it up tomorrow and pull a couple of victories off tomorrow so I can secure the win."

Arkansas Razorbacks litter the leaderboard as the first day concluded. Junior Taliyah Brooks, the defending champion in the event, sits in second with 3,691 points.

"My hurdle race wasn't that great, but it was my first one of the year," Brooks said once the day's events concluded. "High jump went pretty well. I was happy with my jump, 1.82, and then I had some good looks at 1.85. That was my first time dropping under 24 seconds (in the 200 meters), so I'm happy with 23.97. Long jump is my favorite event, so I'm really looking forward to that."

Arkansas junior Payton Stumbaugh is third with 3,652, sophomore Kelsey Herman is fifth with 3,585 and senior Leigha Brown sits in sixth with 3,541 points. Former Razorback Alex Gochenour, who is competing unattached, is fourth with 3,594 points.

Stumbaugh won the first event of the day, which was the 100-meter hurdles, in a time of 13.27. She was followed by Bougard (13.29) and Brooks (13.49). Bougard won the high jump with a height of 1.85m. Brooks finished second in the event with a height of 1.82 meters while Nevada's Nicole Wadden finished third.

In the shot put, UTEP junior Lucia Mokrasova won with a distance of 14.10 meters. Texas A&M's Shaina Burns was second, while Gochenour finished third in the event. Stumbaugh was once again victorious in the 200 meters, finishing with a time of 23.65. She edged out Herman (23.95), a fellow Razorback, and Bougard (23.96).

Texas' lone competitor in the women's heptathlon, freshman Virginia Preiss, has 2,751 points after day one.
