Final Results

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Troy wrapped up competition at the 2014 Sun Belt Championships on Tuesday, with several Trojans posting impressive results throughout the day.

"At the end of the day we are not pleased with the point totals even though we know the youthful team has a huge upswing as we prepare for the outdoor championships," said head coach Jill Lancaster. "We as coaches are prepared to bring these athletes to a new level for the outdoor championship."

Dallas Worth earned three points for the Trojans with a sixth place finish in the 400-meters. She finished the race with a time of 56.83 seconds, nearly four-tenths of a second faster than her qualifying time on Monday.
