MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Millsaps men's and women's track and field programs continued to post several strong performances, Saturday at the Rhodes 7-Way Meet.
Sophomore
Eleanor Scott bounded an impressive 11.20 meters in the triple jump, finishing third. Additionally, junior
Dez'Tavien Frank cruised in the 100 meters with a sizzling time of 10.94 seconds to place seventh. Both were wind assisted marks so they could not count toward NCAA qualifications or school records.
On the women's side, Scott also placed fifth in the high jump (1.55 meters) and finished ahead of junior
Natalie Burke in the triple jump (10.22 meters, fifth).
Sophomore
Sierra Schmidt also recorded a fifth-place showing in the pole vault, clearing 2.85 meters. Burke cracked the top 10 in the long jump (4.67 meters, fourth) as well as junior
Tyler Hamby cracked the top 10 in the javelin (29.65 meters, eighth).
The Majors represented well on the track, which was highlighted by sophomore
Ashanti Lastrapes' ninth-place day in the 100 meters, closing in 12.85 seconds.
Lastrapes (28.08, 15th) also finished just behind Burke (27.19, 13th) and freshman
Fiona Selders (27.40, 14th) in the 200 meters. Selders (1:06.21, 12th) and sophomore
Ally Hearn (1:07.88, 14th) also ran well in the 400 meters.
Hamby was swift in the 1500 meters (5:34.03, 12th) just in front of junior
Sarah Strickland (5:40.62, 14th). Strickland competed in the 5000 meters with a quality mark of 20:52.64 in the 13th. She ran closely with classmate
Fran Edwards (20:58.54, 14th).
The 4x100-meter relay squad of Lastrapes, Burke, Selders and freshman
Hannah Brown were strong in fifth place (52.71). Selders, Hamby, Hearn and Strickland ran a collective time of 4:45.81 to record an eighth-place showing.
In the men's competition, freshman
Jeremiah Hall excelled in the triple jump (13.32 meters, third) and long jump (6.29 meters, seventh). Classmate
Ian McAlpine was not far off in the long jump (6.12 meters, ninth) as well.
In addition to his record-tying 100-meter time, Frank crossed the line in the 200 meters with another quality showing (22.60, seventh). Hall closed in ninth (23.32).
The mid-distance events were covered well by McAlpine in the 400 meters (54.48, 15th), junior
Patch Heard in the 800 meters (2:02.74, 13th) and senior
Patrick Elliott in the 1500 meters (4:09.59, 15th). Elliott also covered the 3000-meter steeplechase (10:29.73, fourth).
Freshman
Greer Hernandez was the final Major to reach the top 10, placing eighth in the 5000 meters (16:17.22). Frank, Heard, McAlpine and Hall raced to fifth-place in the 4x400-meter relay (3:36.25).
The Majors now prepare for the SAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which will be hosted by Hendrix in Conway, Ark., April 26-27.
