San Antonio, TX - The Tiger track team hosted its first outdoor meet of the 2010 season today, competing against twelve mostly Division I and Division II schools.

Highlighting the meet was sophomore Justin Campbell of Victoria, Texas. Not only did he record his second consecutive victory in the men's discus throw against tough competition, he also threw a solid NCAA Division III provisional qualifying throw of 49.09 meters.

The men's 4x100m relay team, consisting of Brennon Peters, Jesse Wright, Nigel Robinson, and Tyson Cannon, captured their first victory of the season with a time of 43.19. Other standout perfomances on the men's side were Nigel Robinson placing second in the 100m dash with a time of 11.22, as well as finishing third in the 200m (22.75), and Riley Walker running the 110m Hurdles in a time of 16.14, good for a third place finish.

On the women's side two athletes stood out for the Lady Tigers in the field events. Senior Elizabeth Tweedy won the triple jump with a mark of 11.00m, and first-year Elana Edwards notched her first collegiate win in the high jump with a jump of 1.63m (5'04"). Elizabeth Tweedy also took third in the high jump in 1.58m (5'02").

Freshman Emily Shiraki continued to have success in the pole vault, jumping 3.05m (10'), an improvement from her jump last week at the Incarnate Word Invitational.  

The men finished fourth overall out of twelve teams, while the women led the way with a third place finish out of nine teams.

The Tigers will continue their outdoor season in three weeks on March 26th at the Rice Bayou Classic meet in Houston Texas.

A select group of national qualifiers will also be competing at the NCAA Indoor National Championships next weekend in Greencastle, Indiana, hosted by fellow SCAC member Depauw University.
