Blake Smith had an outstanding weekend at the Tennessee Relays powered by Sea Ray. The junior finished third out of 43 competitors in the 100-meter dash, establishing a personal best. Smith's time of 10.42 seconds is currently the top time in the Ohio Valley Conference this season. He followed that with a leap of 25.275 feet in the long jump to finish in second place. The jump also ranks as the best in the OVC and ninth-best in the NCAA this year.
