TROY, Ala. – Troy indoor track and field will look to continue its recent success as it hits the road back to Birmingham for the KMS Invitational at the Birmingham CrossPlex.

The Trojans brought home an eighth-place finish in their last showing at the Emory Invite last weekend. Several individuals put together impressive performances to lead the team's strong finish.

Indiya Summerville continued breaking her own school records in the shot put for the third meet in a row. Alexis Garrett won the 60-meter hurdles and was one of four Trojans to finish in the top 8 in the event.

Garrett also advanced to the 60-meter dash finals, where she and teammate Camille Franks finished sixth and fifth, respectively. Franks brought home points in the long jump, as well, after a 5.14-meter leap earned her a fourth-place finish.

Troy will look for more success from these and others in Sunday's meet as they push towards the Sun Belt Indoor Championships just three weeks away.

Notable
• Indiya Summerville continues to rewrite Troy's indoor record books, breaking her own record in the shot put for a third consecutive meet. Michael Alvernaz broke his own school record in the weight throw in each of the first two meets of the season.

• Hakim Montgomery has won four consecutive 60-meter dash finals that he has competed in, dating back to 2016. He also had the fastest time in the qualifying rounds of all three competitions last season.

• All but one of Troy's seven indoor meets will be held at the Birmingham CrossPlex – including the Sun Belt Indoor Championships in February. The lone trip away from Birmingham will come next weekend as the Trojans head to the Camel City Invitational in Winston-Salem.

• The December 1 meet marked the earliest start in Troy's track and field history.

• Five returning Trojans have NCAA postseason experience entering this year. Junior Hakim Montgomery has earned a trip in each of his first two seasons.
