"I was really excited about the performance of our youngsters this weekend," head coach Carl Sheffield said. "They continue to gain confidence each week and freshman Haley Walker had a pretty good weekend. She finished top-three in discus and shot put, while establishing a new school record."

"Our hurdle crew had a nice weekend with the growth of Joseph Squire and Lyric Choice," Sheffield said. "Both had much improved performances today."

In the 1500-meter run, freshman Shane Bracken finished fifth with a time of 3:57.57, sophomore Tim Jones was seventh at 3:59.99 and senior Zach Kirkland came in eighth at 4:01.12.
