Final Results

CLEMSON, South Carolina – Hakim Montgomery shined once again as the Trojans finished competition Saturday at the Bob Pollock Invitational in Clemson, S.C.

Montgomery set a team record with a 6.59 time in the 60-meter dash, which was fast enough to capture first place. His time is also currently tied for second best in the nation.

"We showed that we can compete at a high level when put in tough competitive situations," said Marc Davis. "We went up against teams like Alabama, Florida State, Duke, Clemson, North Carolina A&T, Virginia Tech, North Carolina State, and Georgia Tech. Those are some very tough opponents to face at the same time. We are holding our own with an individual win in a very tough sprint field, and three more top five finishes on day one."

Another school record was set when Michael Alvernaz threw 18.93 meters in the weight throw. This was good enough for a fourth place finish in the event.

The Trojans had 14 top 10 finishes, nine of those placing in the top five. Included in these top 5 performances was Allison Taylor, who threw a personal best 16.95-meter in the women's weight throw competition. Tyson Robinson finished fourth in the men's 600-meter dash and Indiya Summerville finished fourth in the women's shot put.

Twelve personal records were set in the two days of competition, including Riley Schwietz and Elizabeth Locklier both setting bests in the 60-meter hurdles and high jump. Locklier also set a personal best pentathlon score.

The Trojan's indoor season continues Sunday at the KMS Invitational at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
