Senior Jaden McKenzie was part of the record-breaking 4x200 meter relay quartet.
DETROIT (4/24/2026) -- The University of Detroit Mercy men's track and field team saw a school record go down at the Drake Relays as the Titans had a full day of competition.

The men's quartet of seniors Jaden McKenzie and Antonio Talley and freshmen Micah Chaney and Joey DeCasas set the new Titan standard in the 4x200 meter relay with a time of 1:26.49 for seventh place. They also took 11th in the 4x100 in 41.92.

Also at Drake, junior Christopher Rusellburg set a huge personal record and placed ninth in the 10,000m in 30:30.11, the second-fastest time in school history.

At the Don Kleinow Memorial at Siena Heights, freshman Isaiah Fox registered a couple of PRs, taking runner-up in the long jump with a mark of 7.14 meters and fourth in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.85.

A couple of other Titans came away with fourth-place efforts at Siena Heights as freshman Deon Robertson leaped 2.00m in the high jump, tying his season best, while Kwaku Awuah clocked a 50.85 in the 400m.

At the Kip Janvrin Open at Simpson College, freshman Luke Hansen was seventh in the 400m with a season-low 50.76. Freshman Nickolas Henson earned seventh in the long jump at 6.36m, and senior Anthony Yip threw the discus 43.69m for 12th.

The final day of the Drake Relays and the Kip Janvrin Open will be tomorrow.
