The USC men's and women's track and field teams competed at the Claremont Relays this past Saturday and put up several good marks.
Highlights and notes:
Freshman Virginia 'Ginnie' Powell continued to impress, winning the 100m HH in 13.81. That time already puts her in 10th on the all-time Women of Troy list for the short hurdles. It was also an NCAA Regional qualifying mark.
Other winners on the women's side included junior Miya Edmonson, who ran a PR 11.88 in the 100m, freshman Tunisia Johnson in the 400m IH (63.93), senior Spring Harris in the high jump (5-9 3/4), sophomore Tiffany Jones in the long jump (18-5), senior Amy Thiel in the discus (152-8) and junior L'Orangerie Crawford in the hammer (181-2).
On the men's side, sophomore long jumper Allen Simms won the 100m in 11.06, senior Justin Neems won the 3,000m in 8:38.92, sophomore Ken Thomas won the 400m IH in 53.31, senior Julien Kapek won the triple jump with a leap of 51-0 1/4 and freshman Adam Midles won the hammer with a throw of 182-9.
