The Hornet men also earned a pair of wins in the relays. The foursome of Lindsey, Turner, Chris Ilio and Adorno posted a season-best time of 41.22 to win the event by .29 seconds. That mark also moved the team into a tie for fourth place in the Big Sky this year. Sacramento State entered two teams into the 4x400 and the "B" team came away victorious in 3:25.64.
