What They Are Saying
Wingate junior student-athlete T'Asya Jay (Shepherdstown, W.Va.)
 
"Hayat Abdeselam and Chelsey Thomas really worked hard in the 60-meter dash with the times of 7.84 and 7.96, respectively. On the men's side, Jacoby Craig also had a great season opener in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.53. Personally, I achieved personal-best times in the 400 meters (1:01.75) and the 60-meter hurdles (9.39). Overall, this was a great first meet back from break!"
 
Wingate sophomore student-athlete Kenton Fields (Greenville, S.C.)
 
"It was a good day for the Bulldogs at the JDL Mondo College Invite. As a team, we set a lot of PRs. We also had many people in the finals, such as Kimberly Navarrete who finished sixth in the triple jump finals with 10.54. Another great personal-best effort was Shane Levesque with a 4:14.55 in the mile. Personally, I ran a 20-second, personal-best time in the 3000 meters. It's only the start of the season, so we've got many areas where we can improve."
