NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. – Scoring 88 points, the Mississippi State men's team brought home the first-place team finish at the Armory Track Invite Saturday.
“I'm very proud of how strong these athletes competed this weekend,” MSU coach Steve Dudley said. “This is a great place to be as we move toward post season, however, there are still some areas we need to work on. This is a good win to take home, but we will continue to practice and improve as a team. We are constantly working toward getting better.”
Finishing out the meet, the men's 4x400m relay comprised of Juston Waters, Charles Taylor, Alfred Larry and Rasheed Tatham posted a time of 3:09.41 to bring home first in the event. Earlier in the day the foursome also finished first in the 4x200m relay after running a meet record time of 1:25.20.

Distance runner Cornelia Griesche posted a personal-best in the 3000m run after clocking a time of 9:30.83 to place third. Her time is the second-best in program history.
Scoring three points for the women's team, the 4x200m relay team made up of Leah Lott, Ste'yce McNeil, Alon Lewis and Kimari Martin posted a time of 1:39.62 to finish sixth.
Also on the track earning sixth place, the women's 4x400m relay made up of Martin, McNeil, Freitas and Lewis clocked a time of 3:46.61 in the event.
