No. 16 Bulldogs Record Most Points Ever At NCAA Indoor; Browne Advances To 60M Finals
May 25, 2016 | Track & Field
The Bulldogs recorded the most points in school history at the NCAA Indoor with 13 points Friday from sophomore Marquis Davis and junior Pierre Browne.
Davis, the school record-holder in the 200m, finished second (20.76) in the 200-meter dash, the second-highest finish for a Bulldog at the NCAA Indoors. The last man to place this high at MSU was Festus Igbinoghene, when he placed second in the triple jump in 1990.
Browne took fourth place in the 200m, clocking a 20.84 on the 200-meter banked oval at the Randal Tyson Track Center.
"We are extremely happy with the finish here today," said MSU head coach Al Schmidt. "Both guys ran tremendous races and showed the nation how big of a player Mississippi State track is now."
Browne, the 2000 Canadian Olympian, also advanced to the finals Saturday in the 60-meter dash, setting a new MSU record with his mark of 6.64. Browne last set the mark at the SEC Championships with a 6.68.
The NCAA Indoor Championships conclude tomorrow in Fayetteville, Ark. The finals of the 60-meter dash are slated to start at 7:15 p.m.
