Chants set a school record in hurdles, distance, and relay events

CLEMSON, S.C. – The Coastal Carolina women's indoor track & field team continued its record-setting season by breaking not one, not two, but three school records on day one of the Clemson Bob Pollock Invitational on Friday in Clemson, S.C.

Sophomore sprinter and hurdler Alexis Glasco broke her own school record, which she set last weekend at the 2023 Carolina Challenge, in the 60-meter hurdles, crossing the finish line with a time of 8.21 in the preliminaries to qualify for the finals.

In the 60-meter hurdles finals, Glasco placed fifth overall with a time of 8.27, finishing two spots in front of teammate Sydney Clemens and her seventh-place time of 8.75. Clemens reached the finals heat with a personal-best mark of 8.36 in the prelims, which was also the fourth-fastest time for the hurdles event in CCU's indoor history.

CCU's second school record came in the 1-mile run, as junior Molly Jones recorded a time of 4:48.64 to place ninth overall in the distance event. Jones' time was not only a new school record, but was almost a full two seconds faster than the previous mark.

The third CCU record came in the relay events, as the team of Ellie Wolski, Amanda Kinloch, Amilia Wise-Sweat, and Jones turned in a fourth-place finish in the distance medley relay with a school record time of 11:45.23.

Including the three record-setting performances, the Chanticleers totaled nine top-10 finishes.

Glasco (7.47) and Kayla Sweeney (7.51) finished ninth and 10th overall in the 60-meter dash, while Clemens placed 16th overall with a personal-best time of 7.61. Her time also placed her 10th overall for the sprint event in CCU's annals.

In the 400-meters, Lauren Gordon turned in a personal-best time of 55.63 to place fourth overall, while Amaryah White crossed the finish line in seventh place with her personal-best time of 56.00. Gordon's time ranks fourth on CCU's all-time performance list, while White's was ninth.

In the field events on Friday, Kynnedy Dennis finished seventh in the pole vault unseeded event with a mark of 3.72 meters, while despite missing out on the top 10, the Chants' Zayna Fray-Samuel (17.83 meters) and Lauralyn Clifford (17.25 meters) both etched their names into CCU's all-time top-10 list in the weight throw event.

The Bob Pollock Invitational will continue tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. ET.
