Blake Smith continued his torrid stretch with a third place finish in the 100-meter dash. Smith crossed the finish line in a personal-best 10.42 seconds, a mark that ranks seventh in school history and moves the junior into a tie at the top of the leader board in the OVC.

Martin's leap of 15.49 meters ties his career-best in the bronze medal jump.
Shon Kyle got his day started with a monster throw of 53.01 meters in the discus, a mark that ranks fifth all-time at Southeast. The throw is also tops in the Ohio Valley Conference this season and placed him in second place in the meet.
Jason Walker, whom Shon passed for the OVC lead, had a personal-best throw of 51.54 meters and a fourth-place finish.

Ponds also had a solid showing in the 100-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 11.93 seconds. The mark is the second-best in the OVC this season.
Chris Navarro claimed fifth place in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.40 seconds.

"Mike ran really well," Crumpecker said. "He is going to continue running faster in the coming meets."
Kevin Farley placed eighth in the shot put with a toss of 17.49 meters. The throw was one inch farther than his previous OVC leading toss. Shone was just behind in 11th place with a throw of 16.35 meters.
After running the seventh-best time in the OVC last week at the Joey Haines Invite in the 5,000-meter run, Rebekah Lawson topped that mark in a sixth place finish. She crossed the line in 17:21.94, the fifth-best time this season in the conference.
