JONESBORO, Ark. – In its final tune-up before the Ohio Valley Conference Championships next weekend, the Southeast Missouri track and field team had many personal records and strong performances Saturday at the Arkansas State Red Wolves Open.
"We had a lot of good performances this weekend," Southeast head coach Eric Crumpecker said. "Everyone is doing well and we are just looking ahead to next weekend now."
Chris Martin picked up his first event victory of the season in the triple jump with a personal best 15.84 meters. The mark ties him with teammate Reggie Miller atop the OVC leaders heading into the OVC Championships next weekend. The personal best also ranks third in the NCAA West Region.
