Lake Charles, LOUISIANA – The Trinity track & field teams traveled to McNeese State today to compete in their first indoor meet back from winter break. In their first test of the year on a flat track, which the SAA Conference Championships will take place on, the Tigers had a strong showing and set multiple top ten all-time program marks.
SPRINTS
Shifa Daredia won the women's 200-meter in 27.38, followed closely by Nia Scott in third with a time of 27.76.
In the men's 200-meter, Hudson McCulley took third in a time of 22.98, the third best mark ever run indoors by a Tiger freshman.
Lily Broussard took second in the women's 400-meter in 1:02.00, followed by Isabella Gaylord in a PR of 1:02.77.
Price Schultea took the win in the men's 400-meter in 51.01, followed by Ryan Forson in third in 52.54 and Henry Selman in 52.89.
MID-DISTANCE
Scarlett Berthelot took sixth in the women's 600-meter 1:46.29.
Jackson Gallagher won the men's 600-meter in 1:24.05.
Halle Hamilton won the women's 800-meter in 2:20.57, as Ciara Catton took second in 2:22.79.
Kyle Fix won the men's 800-meter in an indoor PR of 1:59.57, moving him to fourth on Trinity's program list. Sebastian Langer was close behind in second with a time of 1:59.59. Bryce Williams won the second heat to take third overall in 2:01.83.
Emerson Voldan took second in the women's mile in an indoor PR of 5:12.53, moving her up one spot on Trinity's all-time list to second.
Thomas Melina Raab took first in the men's mile in 4:27.76, followed closely by Jesus Rojas in second with an indoor PR of 4:29.98.
The Trinity men went 5-10 in the men's 3,000-meter, led by Nicholas Hutchinson in 9:04.66. Brady Peifer won the second heat to take sixth overall in 9:04.73. The times are the fourth and fifth best times ever run by a freshman in program history.
JUMPS
Gaylord took seventh in the women's long jump with a mark of 5.04m, moving her into a tie for sixth in program history with assistant coach Corey Wildman. She was followed by Ciandra Carrico, whose mark of 4.73m earned her ninth and, coincidentally, moved her into ninth in program history.
Kaleem Howard took seventh in the men's long jump with an indoor PR of 6.47m, moving him into sixth in program history.
Ciandra Carrico just missed her PR in the women's triple jump, but was still able to take second with a mark of 10.39m.
Bocar Diagana broke his own school record in the men's triple jump with a mark of 14.66m to take third overall. His jump keeps him at seventh in NCAA Division III, but gives him some added cushion that makes a nationals bid look more than likely. Luke Sams' mark of 12.67m was good enough for sixth, and slots him into sixth in program history.
Addison Doss won the women's pole vault, clearing 3.35m. Victoria Baker took second in a big new indoor PR, clearing 3.20m to move herself into a tie for fourth in program history.
Sophia Ortiz took fourth in the women's high jump, clearing 1.53m.
Christian Mullaney took sixth in the men's high jump, clearing 1.82m to slot into 10th in program history.
THROWS
Madeleine Seabolt took ninth in the women's weight throw with an indoor PR toss of 12.63m, moving her into third in program history.
Ian Zahner took sixth in the men's weight throw with a toss of 13.85m, the best throw in program history by a freshman and the second best overall. He was followed closely by Aaron Chang, who set a PR and moved into third in program history with a 13.55m toss. Cole Noack also set a PR with a toss of 12.87m, keeping his place as fifth in program history.
Trinity Jefferson took tenth in the women's shot put with a mark of 10.82m, the fourth best mark in program history and best ever from a freshman.
Chang took seventh in the men's shot put with a PR mark of 13.36m, moving him into third in program history.
RELAYS
The women's 4x400-meter squad of Broussard, Gaylord, Catton and Hamilton took second in a time of 4:09.59, the eighth best time in program history.
The men's 4x400-meter squad of Gallagher, Ryan Forson, Henry Selman and Schultea also took second in a time of 3:28.12, the ninth best time in program history.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Tigers are back in action next weekend, Jan. 24, at the University of Houston's FasTrak meet.
