TROY, Ala. – After the events of the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, 10 Trojans were named to the All-Sun Belt teams with Tydreke Thomas headlining on the first time, followed by Altwayne Bedward, Evan Brown, Michael Eady, Keylan Hicks, Jasmine Jimenez, Aaliyah Murphy, Kady Schwietz and Haley Wilson on second team and Shanyah Washington on third team.
"I am proud of all that achieved all Sun Belt honors," director of track & field/cross country Marc Davis said. "They worked hard and achieved some great things, and they did them at the right time. Our conference is a tough one. We have some tough kids. They competed hard, and every kid on this list had a personal best in one way or another. On to the next one."
Thomas led the way with a first-team nod after excelling in the 100-meter dash on two occasions. The sprinter rewrote the Troy record books twice, with his preliminary time of 10.14 being the fastest in program history for first place. Then, the 5-10 junior took home gold, improving his time by 0.01 seconds (10.13) to win.
The quartets of Thomas, Brown, Eady and Hicks (4x100m) and Jimenez, Murphy, Schwietz and Wilson (4x400m) came together for second place finishes in their respective events for seven second team nods. Meanwhile, Bedward broke the shot put record for Troy with an 18.87m throw for silver – he also finished ninth in the discus throw event at 48.19m. Brown, Eady and Hicks joined Thomas in the 100m, finishing eighth, ninth and 18th, respectively. Eady competed in the finals for the 100m and claimed fifth at 10.39.
On the women's side, Schwietz competed in the heptathlon, accumulating 5032 points for third. At the same time, Jimenez finished 18th in the 200m (58.47), Murphy ended fourth in the 400m hurdles preliminary round (1:01.63) and second in the finals (1:00.49) and Wilson advanced into the finals of the 800m (sixth – 2:11.65) with a fifth-place finish in the preliminaries (2:11.19).
Washington was the lone Trojan on the third team when she propelled herself in the 100m finals on the women's side with a time of 11.39 for second. In the final event, she sprinted to third at 11.31 and finished eighth in the 200m final.
