Trinity Finishes Regular Season at Hardin-Simmons Twilight

Box Score

Abilene, Texas - The Tiger track & field teams finished off the last meet of the regular season with several strong showings at the Hardin-Simmons University Twilight Invitational on Friday.

Trinity won three events at the meet, which was the final chance for student-athletes to improve qualifying marks and times for the NCAA Championships Meet.  The Tigers also finished second among collegiate competitors in four other events during Friday's meet.

Matt Love threw a career-best 47.78 meters in the discus, finishing second among NCAA competition, and improving his third-place standing in the Trinity track & field record books.  

Britney Sullivan recorded a season-best 11.69 meters in the triple jump, breaking her own school record.  Sullivan bested the previous Tiger record three times this season.  She was also a part of Trinity's 4x100 meter relay team that won the event in 48.98 seconds.  Joining Sullivan were Bailey Drury, Nkolika Nweke, and Elizabeth Peters, who finished in under 49 seconds for the third time this season.  The relay team also broke the school record earlier this year.

Nweke was also second in both the 100 and 200 meter dash events, but finished behind an unattached runner in both.  Nweke ran the 100 in 12.29 seconds, and the 200 in 25.42 seconds - the time in the 200 is her second-fastest this season.

Eric Booker was second in the 200 meter dash with his time of 22.61 seconds, and was also a part of the winning 4x100 meter relay team.  Adam Saunders, Cody Wolfe, and Eric Soo joined Booker with a time of 42.43 seconds, which is the second-fastest time posted this season by Trinity relay teams.  

Trinity will await final invitations to the NCAA Championships, which run May 21-23 in Canton, New York.  Currently, Sullivan's triple jump ranks her 17th nationally, and she is the only Tiger athlete in the top 25.  Several others remain in the top 30 in Division III.
