GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The LSU track and field team closed out the final day of the Tom Jones Invitational, hosted by the University of Florida at James G. Pressly Stadium.
Final Results
A few weeks removed from clocking a wind-aided time of 10.01 seconds at the Battle on the Bayou, freshman Jelani Watkins was able to clock his first wind-legal 100 meter with 10.03 seconds to finish second. The dual-sport star’s new personal-best time of 10.03 moves him to No. 6 in LSU performance-list history, just above his teammate Myles Thomas. Watkins also clocked a PR in the 200 meter a day ago with 20.61 seconds.
In the men’s 110-meter hurdles the duo of Jahiem Stern and Matthew Sophia were up to great things once again. Stern got the best of his training partner with a season-best time of 13.43 seconds to finish second in the event, while Sophia clocked 13.46 seconds behind him to finish with bronze. Stern and Sophia’s times put them at No. 4 and No. 5 in the nation.
Freshman Princesse Hyman had another wonderful outing on Saturday as she took the win in women’s discus throw. Hyman tossed a day’s best of 54.61 meters (179’ 2”) to earn it, just off of her SB from the Battle at the Beach where she reached 55.49 meters (182’ 1”).
