Nick Devenport won his first race as a Wildcat Friday at the Texas Relays in Austin, Texas. Devenport, who transferred to UK from Baylor this year, won the 1,500-meter run with an impressive time of 3:48.76. Teammate Jean Balan broke a personal best while also placing in the event, as he took sixth in 3:49.82.
“I'm real happy with my performance tonight,” Devenport said. “Coming into the race I had no idea I would be able to do well because I was injured the whole indoor season. This was only my second (outdoor) race. I didn't know what to expect; I just wanted to get into the mix and compete and see what I had at the finish and if I could make it that long. I surprised myself.”
