GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Miami track and field teams, with a No. 15 ranking on the women’s side, completed Florida Relays at the University of Florida’s Percy Beard Track on Saturday.
Deandra Doyley placed third in the long jump on Friday and followed that performance up with a second place finish in the triple jump on Saturday. Her mark of 12.92m (42-04.75) was only beat by Clemson’s Patrica Mamona’s mark of 13.14m.
The women’s 4×400 relay team of Ti’erra Brown, Takecia Jameson, Charlene Fuller and Tameka Jameson was the second collegiate team to cross the finish line, with a time of 3:35.58 – the best time of the season for a Miami quartet.
In the 4×100 shuttle hurdle relay, Brown, the Jameson sisters and Doyley were the first collegiate team to cross the finish line at 54.02 seconds – more than a second better then the next best team. The shuttle hurdle relay is an event typically run at relay meets.
In Friday’s action, in arguably the most talented event at the Florida Relays, three Miami women placed in the top eight in the 400m hurdles, among 45 contestants. Ti’erra Brown finished second – behind the reigning national champion and 2008 Olympian, Virginia Tech’s Queen Harrison – with a time of 56.39 seconds. Tameka Jameson finished sixth in 57.83 seconds and her sister, Takecia Jameson, placed eighth in 58.14 seconds.
Junior Megan Novinger reached a new personal-best in the high jump, reaching 1.75m (5-08.75). The mark also moved her into third place all-time in the school record books. Former Hurricane Viktoria Andonova owns that school record and she won the event with a mark of 1.85m (6-00.75).
In her outdoor season debut in the event, Deandra Doyley placed third in the long jump, leaping 6.27m (20-06.75). Sophomore Brittni Finch leapt a season-best 5.85m (19-02.25).
Out of 55 competitors, the reigning ACC 60m champion, Ashley Dukes, placed 10th in the 100m dash, crossing the finish line in 11.54 seconds.
Janet Price and Jennifer Estime finished first and third in their 800m heat with times of 2:15.16 and 2:16.59, respectively.
Miranda Wilson improved on her season-opening mark in the discus by over two meters on Friday, reaching 44.13m (144-09.50). Wilson set a personal-best at the Hurricane Invitational two weeks ago in the hammer throw and followed that up with another solid performance, as her throw traveled 49.84m (163-06.25).
Sophomore Devon Hill won the third of seven heats in the 110m hurdles and placed seventh overall among the 46 competitors, with a time of 14.04 seconds. Hill also ran in the 400m hurdles, finishing with a time of 53.93 seconds.
The Florida Relays is one of the biggest meets in the country and featured schools such as Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and UCF. In addition, a full contingent of post-collegians are competing.
Miami returns to action next week when it hosts the Hurricane Alumni Invitational on Saturday, April 10.
