April 19, 2008 | Track & Field
ATHENS, Ga. ? The Mississippi State track and field teams used a combination of a six-relay sweep and solid individual performances to turn in superior times at the Bulldog Limited on Saturday, April 19 in Athens, Ga. The event was held at the Spec Towns Track on the campus of SEC foe-Georgia.
Senior Jamil Hubbard was one of the highlights of MSU's day with his splendid performance in the 400-meter run. The Atlanta, Ga.-native placed first en route to claiming a regional-qualifying and personal-time of 46.05 seconds.
Senior Chris Woods took first place in the 800-meter run with a regional-qualifying time of 1:48.55. The Bulldogs also picked up five new personal-best times in the event. In the two-mile run, MState took six of the top 10 spots with senior Brandon Smith taking first with a time of 9:08.39. Senior Pad Judd finished second in 9:15.23, while sophomore Daniel Simpkins snagged fifth place with a 9:33.66 finish.
Senior Golden Coachman took first place in the one-mile run, carding a time of 4:12.30 in the event. Junior Michael Chapa grabbed fourth in 4:21.91, while sophomore Cameron Vincent rounded out the top 10 with a ninth-place time of 4:29.69.
In the first of three relay events for the Bulldogs, the 4x100-meter relay team of sophomore Kendall May, junior John Bailey, Hubbard and freshman O'Neal Wilder turned in a regional-qualifying time of 39.70 to edge the field. In 4x200-meter relay action, the quartet of Wilder, Hubbard, Bailey and Mays ran an excellent race, finishing the relay in 1:22.56. In their final relay event of the meet, senior Kyle Roberts, freshman Emanuel Mayers, Coachman and Wilder blew past the rest of the field, tallying a time of 3:11.38.
“We had some really good performances, said MSU Head Coach Al Schmidt. “The one of the day was Jamil Hubbard beating the 400-meter indoor champion from Georgia (Justin Gaymon). That time put him up there in the top half in the country. The 4x200 men ran a time that is in the top 3 or 4 in the country. They did really well.”
In the women's field events, all three MSU competitors posted season-best marks and placed in the top 10 in the javelin throw, with junior Marrissa Harris finishing the highest in fifth with her throw of 112 feet, six inches. Sophomore LaQuinta Aaron finished eighth, while junior Dorothy Youmans followed in ninth. Junior Priscilla Gaines notched first place in the long jump, leaping 19-03 ?. Junior Janelle Finley finished in fifth. Harris completed her day in the field events, taking fourth place in the high jump, propelling herself a personal-best 5-07 in the air. Harris was the top collegiate finisher in the event.
On the track, junior Gabrielle Dillon took third in the 100-meter dash, running a season-best 11.85. Sophomores Bridgett Rose (14.24) and Aaron (14.25) battled the elements to finish in third and fourth place, respectively in the 100-meter hurdles.
The Lady Bulldogs began the MSU relay assault on the field with the 4x100-meter relay team of Dillon, sophomore Wendy Copeland, Rose and Gaines, taking first place with a time of 47.90. The 4x200-meter foursome of Rose, Gaines, Dillon and Harris also ran that relay in 1:36.13 to take first place. With their time, they are now second all-time in the event at MSU. The 4x400-meter relay team of Aaron, Harris, freshman Diamond Marks and Gaines, completed the Lady Bulldog relay sweep with their first-place time of 3:49.47.
“The 4x100 and 4x200 women won both of those relays and that was great,” said Schmidt. “Priscilla (Gaines) won the long jump. We had a good day. It was a dual meet between us and Georgia basically. I thought we dominated and did really well. It has been a great weekend. Going into the Penn Relays, the men have a chance to win a few races, especially in the relays. This is the best we have been going into the Penn Relays. This is also setting us up for the SEC Championships.”
After a first-class performance this weekend, the Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs will turn their attention to the prestigious Penn Relays, set to take place on April 24-26 in Philadelphia, Penn.
