COLUMBIA, S.C. – Day two of the Weems Baskin Invitational at the Sheila and Morris Cregger Track saw three on the men's side for Troy crowned champions of their event and a podium sweep for the 800m. The three victories came from Gabriel Peacock in the 800m, Javon Osbourne in the discus throw and Jaggerd Moore in the high jump invite.
Peacock led a trio of Trojans to sweep the podium for the 5000m alongside Michael Marvin and Martin Bouldo. After the first lap, Dwight Mason held the lead for Troy, with Bouldo, Peacock and Marvin following from third to fifth. However, the second lap saw Mason fall off to finish 10th at 1:58.03. But Peacock rose dramatically, overcoming Bouldo and David Martin from Maryland-Eastern to win the event with a time of 1:55.47. Marvin (1:55.83) and Bouldo (1:55.85) followed him as all three achieved new personal records.
The men's side turned to the fielding events for the next two wins as Osbourne dominated his events. In the shot-put event, the sophomore put on a show with a season-best 13.74m to grab silver. His victory came in discus shortly after when he threw to the 53.07m mark to outscore UMBC's Iosif Papa.
Saturday's final victory came through a freshman from Birmingham, Ala. Moore and fellow competitors Titus Sizemore and Virginia Tech's Aidan Clark made it through to the 2.03m mark, where the Trojan was crowned co-champions with Sizemore.
Naveyh Frost shined for the women's side in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m. Individually, the sophomore topped the charts for Troy in the 100m, crossing the line in fifth with a new personal best time of 11.88. She followed it up in the 200m, improving for a bronze medal with a time of 24.35. Her last top five of the day came alongside Shanyah Washington, Maya Kelly and Kierra Montgomery. Against 13 other teams, the group put together a time of 46.06 for fourth.
The Troy track and field program has the UAB Spring Invite from March 31 to April 1 at the UAB Track and Field Complex coming up next.
