TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati track and field team earned 15 Top-10 finishes on the second of three days atthe 52nd Tennessee Relays on Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Bearcats got an event win from senior Annette Echikunwoke in the hammer throw as she outdistanced the field with a best toss of 63.14m to win an event for the second-straight week. Echikunwoke, the reigning American Athletic Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week, also placed fifth in the shot put with a best heave of 15.85m.
RUN LIKE THE WIND
Chris Borzor (20.72) and Caisja Chandler (11.42) each set personal bests and set times which would rank atop the UC record books, in the men's 200m Dash Invitational and women's 100m dash, respectively, but the recorded wind (4.5 in the 100m, 3.8 in the 200m) was too high. Borzor's clocking would have surpassed the 15-year old mark of 20.87, set by Kenny Wade in 2004 while Chandler's run would have bested teammate Tiona Lattimore's 11.52 run from a year ago.
SHE'S FAST
Chandler had a strong Friday in Knoxville, bringing home a pair of Top-5, season best, personal best and UC Top-10 times. She broke the tape in a wind-aided time of 11.42 in the 100m dash, placing fifth and also had a run of 23.18 in the 200m Invitational, placing fourth and running the second-fastest time in Bearcats history.
CLOSING IN ON A RECORD
Quincy Mitchell continued an impressive campaign with his Top-10 finish in the 100m dash. Mitchell crossed the line in 10.381, setting a season and personal best and the No. 2 time in UC history. Mitchell trails only the 2002 run of 10.36 by Garry Cutright.
FINISHING OFF THE MULTI'S
Katie Straus (4.996 pts) and Sydney Spears (4,791 pts) brought home a pair of Top-10 finishes in the heptathlon, placing No. 7 and No. 9, respectively. Both set personal-best marks for overall points with Straus' total ranking as the No. 6 event score in UC history. On the men's side, Jeremy Hayton finished off his first collegiate decathlon with 5,787 points and a 13th-place finish.
WHAT'S NEXT
The 52nd Tennessee Relays conclude Saturday with a number of relay and field events on the track along with the women's discus leading things off at 11 a.m.
