There were numerous top ten performances on the afternoon. First place finishers include Lammy Sokubi in the 55 meter dash (7.30 seconds) and the 4 x 400 Relay team of Deshane Honeycutt, Monica Nwajei, Amber Curney, and Anazjah Mayes (4:20.15) also finished first.
Hunter Creswell secured a 2nd place in pole vault (10'2") and Brittany Aikens finished 4th place in the one mile run (6:28.28) and 5th in 3000 meter run (11:41.6), while Snowie Saunders finished in 5th place in the high jump (1.50 meters).
Other top ten finishes include sixth place finishes for both Sarah Saenz in the 3000 meter run (11:41.9), and DeMichia Higgins in the 55 meter hurdles (9.15) and a tenth place finish for Kayla Madsen in Pole Vault (2.30 meters).
The Golden Tigers had four top ten finishes in the 400 meters as Deishane' Honeycutt finished third in the 400 meter dash (63.60), Monika Nwajei (64.8) fourth, Anazjah Mayes (67.5) fifth and Amber Curney (68.34) in sixth place.
"It was a great way to end the indoor season with lots of good competition and strong performances," said head coach Rick Ludwig. "The actual times were not very good as it was a very unusual track venue - 3 lanes around an indoor football practice facility. However, it was fun and a great warm up to outdoor season."
Golden Tigers travel to Columbus State (Ga.) University next weekend for their first outdoor meet of the season.
