MEMPHIS- The Millsaps women's track and field team was in Memphis this weekend to compete in the annual Rhodes Invitational. 

It was another solid effort by the Major throwers, who dominated the competition. Millsaps dominated the discus, which was won by reigning track and field athlete of the week Kasey Laird. She bombed a throw of 121 feet two inches, nearly nine feet better than second place. Jenna Johnson, Alexis Guice and Sara Navarro finished third, fourth and seventh respectfully in a great showing for the Majors. 

They carried that momentum into the hammer throw where Guice's throw of just over 134 feet placed her in third. Johnson finished fifth, Navarro seventh and Laird eighth in the event. Laird and Guice went three-four in the shot put, each with throws right around the 38 foot mark. 

Over on the track portion of the event, the Majors went toe-to-toe with some of the best comptetition around. Michelle Wheeler placed seventh in the 400 meter dash with a time of just over one minute. She later followed up that solid performance with a fifth-place showing in the long jump.  Jalessa Perez placed sixth in the 400m hurdles, running a time of 1:08.65. Sara Sacks ran a 12-flat in the steeplechase to place fourth. 

The Majors will take this upcoming Easter weekend off before travelling back to Birmingham Southern for the Hilltop Classic on April 5th.
