Conquering the Carolinas
The Trojans followed up seven winners in the season's opening meet with five more at the Weems Baskin Invitational. Day one saw the women's side dominate the events, with Cadi Rowe and Alejandra Gutierrez Fuente earning the gold in the 5,000m and long jump, respectively. The men kept the momentum going on day two as Gabriel Peacock (800m), Javon Osbourne (discus) and Jaggerd Moore (high jump) won their events.

Peacock led a trio of Trojans to sweep the podium for the 5,000m as Michael Marvin and Martin Bouldo took second and third. The junior topped the charts after a slow start, rising four spots in the last lap to finish at 1:55.47. Osbourne's dominance came in two events. After winning his discus event, the sophomore threw a 17.45m in the shot put to place second. His mark pushed him to 27^th in the East Region for the event.
