Later, the pair joined Brown and Hicks in the 4x100m for silver at 39.79. Bedward finished the podiums for the men in the shot put throw, setting a new Troy record at 18.87m for second – he also finished ninth in the discus throw at 48.19m.
On the women's side, Murphy excelled in the 400m hurdles and 4x400m with Jimenez, Schwietz and Wilson. First, the freshman ran a 1:01.63 (fourth) in the preliminaries, punching her ticket into the finals and improving to second with a time of 1:00.49.
