Lubbock, TX - The Monroe University men's indoor track and field team competed in the National Championships at the Sports Performance Center over the weekend. 

Day One: 

The Monroe University men's indoor track and field team earned a pair of finalists in freshman Modou Sanneh and sophomore Tinashe Bure during day one of the 2025 NJCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Sports Performance Center.

Sanneh ran in the third heat of the 400m and finished first, crossing the finish line at 46.91. It was the third fastest time of the day, helping him advance to the 400m final on Saturday.
 
Bure, after narrowly missing the finals of the 800m with a tenth-place finish and a time of 1:53.11, had a bounce-back performance in the 1000m, running a 2:30.26 to advance to Saturday's final.
 
The Mustangs began their day with the distance medley relay. The team of sophomores Siyabonga Mbatha and Banele Mkabela, and freshmen Anthony Barrett and Nkanyezi Ziqubu ran a time of 10:17.01 in the event.
 
Sanneh and sophomore Dwayne Fleming both had great performances in the 200m. Fleming ran a personal-best time of 21.33, which narrowly missed the final. Sanneh continued his impressive day by winning his heat with a time of 21.49, which is a personal-best for him as well. Fleming also ran a time of 49.41 in the 400m.
 
The men's 1000m run wrapped up the day on the men's side on Friday. In addition to Bure, Mbatha  and Mkabela both ran in this event. Mbatha ran a time of 2:32.79 and Mkabela ran a time of 2:32.97.

Day Two:

Sanneh earned a podium finish in the 400m during day two of the 2025 NJCAA National Championships on Saturday. He highlighted a terrific finish to the season for the Mustangs, placing sixth overall with a time of 47.29. His performance also earned himself USTFCCCA All-American status.

Mkabela ran a time of 4:19.68 in the mile, while Bure concluded a solid indoor season with a ninth overall finish in the 1000m with a time of 2:30.80, narrowly missing the podium.

The Mustangs wrapped up the weekend with a 3:15.48 time in the 4x400m relay. The team of Fleming, sophomore Junior Grant, Barrett, and freshman Cleon Joseph clocked in with a season-best time on the day.

With the indoor season now completed, the Mustangs will take a few weeks off before kicking off the 2025 outdoor season with high expectations.
