AUBURN, Alabama – The Troy outdoor track and field wrapped up competition at the War Eagle Invitational in Auburn on Saturday.
"The kids competed well this weekend," Marc Davis said. "We are at a very tough time of the year, but for the most part people are responding well to the training. We have our toughest two meets in a row coming up over the next two weeks. The kids have to be ready to step up."
The meet was highlighted by Hakim Montgomery and Chandler Worthy, who did well in the 100-meter dash with a 10.45 time in the preliminary race. Montgomery finished with a 10.50 final time and a third place finish, while Worthy came in 11th place with a 10.55 time.
Montgomery also ran the 200-meter race and came in ninth place with a 21.44 time.
Both Tyson Robinson and John Webb shined in the 800-meter and 4x4 relays. Robinson came in fifth place with a 1:52.22 time – a season-best – in the 800-meter race, while Webb finished only two spots behind him with a 1:53.77 time.
They also competed on the same 4x4 meter relay team and finished second, ahead of Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee and Alabama A&M. They finished with a 3:15.93 time.
On the field side, Carisa Madson tied a season-best 3.55-meter pole vault. She finished 11th at the event.
Zach Douglas also continued his great performance with a second place finish in the shot put competition and a 17.21-meter toss.
The Trojans will travel to Philadelphia, Penn., next Thursday to compete in the Penn Relays, their final meet before the Sun Belt Outdoor Championships.
