HOUSTON, Texas -- David Dugan and Calvin Mason both broke their own program records as the LeTourneau men's track and field team competed at the FasTrak Collegiate Classic in Houston on Saturday.

Dugan set the mark once again in the 5,000-meter event as he finished seventh overall with a time of 15:26.58. The time was nearly five seconds faster than his previous program record set back in 2024.

Mason also topped his own program record in the weight throw. The junior placed third with a distance of 16.27 meters (53'4.5) to break his program record for a second time this season. The mark now sits third overall in the West Region on the year. In the shot put, Mason was sixth with a distance of 15.24 meters (50'0).
