DETROIT (2/4/2026) -- The University of Detroit Mercy men's and women's track and field teams will have an international feel this week as most of the Titans will cross the border into Canada, while a few will run at Michigan.

The majority of the team will be at the Windsor Team Challenge, set for Friday and Saturday, Feb. 6-7, while senior Claire Hunt and freshmen Avan Hinkle and Colin Murray will run the mile at Saturday's U-M Invitational.

The Titans posted one more win for the indoor campaign as freshman Joey DeCasas won the long jump at Notre Dame in a school-record 7.58 meters. The mark earned him the Horizon League Field Athlete of the Week, the first Titan to win it for the indoor season since 2013.

Sophomore James Wallace is tied for third in the 60m, senior Jaden McKenzie is sixth in the 400m, and freshman Angelo Finnie Jr. is eighth in the 60-meter hurdles.

In throws, sophomore Jesse Lietzow is 10th in the shot put, and senior Anthony Yip is 10th in the weight.
