CCU had nine student-athletes etch their names in top-10 list

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Coastal Carolina men's and women's track & field teams wrapped up competition at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational on Saturday with nine different Chanticleers etching their names in CCU's all-time performance list for outdoor track & field.

Women's Team

Four Chants in Sydney Clemens (110-meter hurdles), Amilia Wise-Sweat (800-meters), Claire Spiller (triple jump), and Mia Lewis (triple jump), as well as the 4x400-meter relay team of Clemens, Alexis Glasco, Amanda Kinloch, and Kayla Sweeney all etched their names in CCU's outdoor track & field performance list on Saturday.

In the 100-meter hurdles, Glasco placed third overall in the finals heat with a time of 12.91 (2.3). Her time would have been a school record if not wind-aided (over 2.1).

Glasco reached the finals with a time of 13.02 (2.4) in the preliminaries, placing third overall, while Clemens turned in a personal-best time of 13.54 (-1.0) to finish 23rd overall. Her mark was the fourth-best time in CCU's history.

The tandem of Clemens and Glasco was joined by Kinloch and Sweeney in the 4x100-meter relay, finishing seventh overall with a time of 44.10. That mark is the second-fastest time in school history.

Sweeney also finished 17th overall in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.32 (2.4), while staying on the track, sophomore Wise-Sweat recorded the third-fastest time in CCU history with a personal-best mark of 2:10.29 in the 800-meters.

In the field events on Saturday, Camryn Lorick placed fifth overall in the high jump event with a height of 1.68 meters, while Kynnedy Dennis finished 16th in the pole vault event with a mark of 3.61 meters.

Two Chants etched their names in the top 10 of the all-time performance list for the triple jump, as Spiller (11.91 meters) and Lewis (11.78 meters) both set personal records and had the eighth and 10th-best marks, respectively, in CCU's annals.

Men's Team

On the men's side, hurdler Tyler Graves (110-meter hurdles) and sprinter Brendan Kovar (400-meters) both moved up on CCU's all-time performance list with personal-best times, while Braydon Bennett (110-meter hurdles), Chance Tressler (shot put), and Michael Martello (shot put and discus throw) all recorded top-25 place finishes.

In the 110-meter hurdles prelims, Graves placed 12th overall with a time of 13.83 (1.6), the second-fastest time for the sprint hurdles event in CCU's history. Fellow Chant Bennett crossed the finish line in 16th place with a time of 13.94 (3.6), while Albrey Gossett turned in a personal-best time of 14.36 (1.1) to place 30th overall.

Kovar turned in a time of 47.58 in the 400-meters, the sixth-best mark in CCU's history, while freshman Deondre Hardy recorded a personal-best time of 10.66 (-0.1) in the 100-meter dash.

Coastal totaled three top-25 place finishes over two field events, as Tressler placed 16th overall in the shot put event with a personal-best mark of 13.81 meters and finished just in front of teammate Martello and his distance of 13.76 meters, good enough for 17th overall.

Martello also finished 24th overall in the discus throw with a throw of 42.04 meters.

The Chanticleers will return to action next weekend, Saturday, April 22, at the USC Open hosted by the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C.
