"We had a great showing in Philadelphia over the last few days," Troy director Marc Davis said. "Our goal was to advance our competitors to the finals, and I think we did a good job achieving this goal. It was perfect weather and a perfect setting for some great performances, I think we represented Trojan Nation well. We have our sights set on the Sun Belt Championship, and I think we have some good momentum going in."

The women's 4x100-meter relay made the college final after a great preliminary round; finishing in fifth place and earning a medal in the final. The women's sprint medley relay saw success as well, crossing the line in a school record time of 3:56.79. Corina Wieser-Cox had a solid performance in the discus throw championship event, finishing in eighth place with a throw of 52.36 meters.

Zach Douglas was a double medalist at the relays – finishing in third place in the college shot put and fifth place in the college discus. Hakim Montgomery ran a strong race in the 100-meter dash, earning himself a personal record time of 10.22 – which was good enough for 4th place in the event.

The Trojans will take the weekend off in preparation for the upcoming Sun Belt Outdoor Championships set for May 12-14.
