Belmont Track & Field Spends Weekend in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. - Belmont University Track & Field delivered a series of strong performances this weekend in the Georgia Tech Invitational at George C. Griffin Track. Bruins beat the 85-degree heat to establish new personal records and build experience as conference championships approach.
 
All three Belmont participants in the javelin throw placed in the top 10 on Friday. Maggie Swarr placed 4th; Kate Briscoe and Sam Parker placed 9th.

In the 1500m, two Bruins set personal records. Callie Kent ran away with a time of 4:38.05, and Kiefer Jay hit 3:59.43. Otto Richter placed 6th in the steeplechase, also with a new personal best time of 9:32.94.

Sophie Nicholls and Lilie Fouts dominated in the women's 5000m, taking 1st and 2nd respectively.

Dailin Siggers performed well on Saturday in the 400m hurdles, setting a new best of 56.48. Shortly afterwards, Callie Kent hit a record mark again in the 800m with a time of 2:18.46. Andrew Taylor also placed 6th in the high jump on Saturday afternoon.

"Overall, this was a solid meet for the team," says Graduate Assistant Coach Jalen Tate. "We had some really good efforts and performances, but we can't be satisfied. We're trending upwards and so [we] have to be a little bit more intentional with the small details so we can go into conference and shock some people."
 
Belmont looks forward to returning to action May 1-2 in the Outdoor Music City Challenge hosted by Vanderbilt.
