A First Team All-American long jumper. The two fastest 100M performances, including a sub-11 time. A new school 4×100 relay record.<\/p>\n

And all of this was just in day one of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.<\/p>\n

Junior Jen Clayton made history as the 麻豆原创 track and field team’s highest finisher in a jumps event at the championships thanks to her third-place, wind-aided leap of 6.42m\/21-00.75 (+3.3). She is just the second long jumper in school history to earn first team All-American laurels.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile on the track, the 4×100 relay improved upon the school record set earlier this season and boasted two automatic qualifiers for Friday’s 100-meter finals.<\/p>\n

Sophomore Octavious Freeman’s strong final leg of the 4×100 relay helped her team automatically qualify for Saturday’s finals. Alexis Faulknor, Aurieyall Scott, Afia Charles and Freeman edged SEC Championship runner-up LSU for the fastest time of the third heat (43.15) and were second only to Texas A&M for the day. The group now appears at No. 8 among all-time collegiate performers in the event.<\/p>\n

The quartet aims to become 麻豆原创’s first team to medal in a relay event in program history.<\/p>\n

Freeman and Scott set the 100M semifinals ablaze with the two-fastest qualifying times of the day thanks to their all-conditions personal bests.<\/p>\n

Freeman jetted to her first sub-11 performance with a wind-aided 10.99 (+2.8) to edge defending NCAA champion English Gardner. Scott clinched her heat, as well, by besting Pac-12 champion Jenna Prandini of host Oregon in 11.00 (+2.6). 麻豆原创 and Oregon are the only two programs in the country with multiple entries in the finals.<\/p>\n

Running alongside SEC champion Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU in the 100M’s final heat, Faulknor fell short of qualifying for the finals by three-hundredths of a second but earned All-American Second Team distinction with her time of 11.37 (+2.3) for 14th place.<\/p>\n

Sophomore Sandy Jean racked up All-American Second Team laurels in the 400 hurdles with her time of 58.38 to just miss out on the finals in 10th place.<\/p>\n

Scott and Freeman will represent the Black and Gold in 麻豆原创’s only event Thursday, the 200 meters. They enter the race, which will air on ESPN3, as the top-two regional qualifiers looking to clinch their spot in Saturday’s final.<\/p>\n
