SAN ANTONIO - Trinity University Track & Field got its season rolling Friday afternoon with the opening day of the 2021 Trinity Invitational.

The Rundown

Junior Sean Majors (Fredericksburg, Texas / Fredericksburg) set a new Trinity record in the long jump, soaring to a nationally-competitive mark of 7.35 meters, which also crushed his previous personal-best mark of 7.17 meters at the North Central College Gregory Qualifier in 2019.

The women's squad collected a quartet of top-three performances between the pole vault and long jump; sophomores Bailey Dueitt (The Woodlands, Texas / The Woodlands) and Jordyn White (St. Louis, Mo. / Lutheran North) were runners-up in the two events, respectively. White collected a new personal-best in process with a leap of 5.45 meters; Dueitt was the top NCAA III finisher in the pole vault. Senior Emma Pool (Columbus, Ohio / Upper Arlington) and sophomore Selina Noe (San Antonio, Texas / Reagan) rounded out the top-three outputs as they finished third in the pole vault and long jump, respectively.

The men's unit added a pair of top-five results to Majors's long jump title. Senior Naim Barnett (Austin, Texas / Round Rock) posted a flat 14-meter flight in the triple jump, junior Tanner Lacy (Oak Ridge North, Texas / Oak Ridge) vaulted for 4.25 meters; both performances landed fifth in their respective events.

Coach Speak

"The team performed well considering we haven't had a competition in a year," Head Coach Marcus Whitehead remarked. "We are really just beginning to scratch the surface on how good we can be. It's also a relief that we got our first national qualifier with Sean's long jump mark today."
