Gainesville, Fla./Atlanta, Ga. - The Western Carolina University men's and women's track and field teams were split this weekend, competing at both the Florida Relays and the Emory University Classic. In Gainesville, Fla., the Lady Catamount sprint medley team of Cassie Gentry, Shameka Harris, Jennifer Spivey and Leslie Martin finished sixth overall, but, more importantly, came in at a WCU record time of 3:57.39, more than four seconds faster than the school's previous record. And, although the Florida Relays was not a conference event, that time stands as a SoCon record as well.
Also finishing well for the Catamounts were Xavier Godard, Justin Davis and Asia Davis, who all finished with personal records at the Florida Relays. Godard tied for eighth in the triple jump with a distance of 47 feet, 11.75 inches. J. Davis finished 11th in the triple jump with a distance of 47 feet, 9.25 inches. A. Davis finished the 400 meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 63.03 seconds.
At the Emory meet, Wes Willoughby came out on top in the men's pole vault, clearing 14 feet, 5.25 inches for the second straight week. Tiffany Mack also won the women's triple jump with a distance of 37 feet, four inches, a personal best. Miranda Long placed second in the discus with a throw of 131 feet, seven inches, a personal best, while Jason Stepp came in second in the men's discus with a toss of 140 feet, eight inches, a season-high. Among other top performers at the meet was Chi Sawyer who placed third in the women's pole vault with a vault of 10 feet.
