SEC Indoor Championship Results SEC Team Scoring

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Logan Boss continues to shine and collect hardware.

The senior high jumper claimed the SEC Championship with a meet record of 1.91m (6-3.25) on Sunday afternoon.

Boss' school record of 1.92m (6-3.5) set earlier this season is the third-highest ever by an SEC athlete.

"Things seem to come together well for me here," she said. "I got third at nationals last year, a personal-best, that was kind of where it all started coming together. I was happy to come back because I like jumping here."

Boss attempted to jump 1.94m, the mark needed to enter international competition and set an SEC record, but she came up short. It appeared she had cleared on her second try, but the bar wobbled on its pedestals before eventually falling.

"I want that 1.94m because that's the mark you need to hit as a high jumper, but it was close, so close," Boss said. "It just gives me a little confidence boost that I know I can do it again, maybe in two weeks."

Mississippi State claimed five total medals in the competition, highlighted by Dejon Devroe and Daniel Nixon taking home silver and bronze, respectively, in the 800m.

Rhiannwedd Price-Weimer earned the silver medal in the mile, then picked up her second medal as a member of the distance medley relay team that finished third. Mia Meydrich, Keturah Smith and Alon Lewis opened that event before she ran the mile leg.

"This was a good day for us on the track," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "We got better as the meet went on, and part of that was probably the athletes feeding off the success of their teammates. For our team to score 52 points, the most in over a decade at this meet, is huge."

The Bulldog women posted 31 points, while the men scored 21. Their combined total of 52 points is the most the two have scored together since 2003, the final year of the men's team competing at the SEC meet before they returned last year.

To find a score higher than that, you have to go back to the 1989 meet where the Bulldogs scored 62 points.

MSU narrowly missed the podium in the women's weight throw as Brianna Smith placed fourth. Tiffany Flynn earned a point in both the 60m hurdles and the triple jump with eight-place finishes.

Willie-Lionel Reed finished eighth in the heptathlon with 4,332 points to score for the Bulldogs. Both of the men's relays finished sixth to pick up three more points apiece.
