ZIMBABWEAN athletes were the toast of the Texas Christian University (TCU) track and field team at the weekend with Tinotenda Matiyenga breaking the national 200-metre indoor record while Chengetayi Mapaya claimed the triple jump title with the leading mark in the US at the Texas Tech Invitational.
Twenty-one-year-old sprinter Matiyenga, who is a senior at TCU, romped to victory in the 200-m race inside The Sports Performance Centre in Lubbock, Texas on Saturday night in a time of 20,75 seconds to lower his own previous national record of 20,80 seconds which he ran in February last year.
