HIGH POINT, N.C. – The Wake Forest Track and Field program concluded a solid performance at the Bob Davidson Team Challenge, highlighted by three Demon Deacons securing top-10 program marks in the women's shot put on Saturday afternoon.
Sophomore Jazmine Thompson led the way for the Demon Deacons as she claimed a pair of top-10 marks in both the women's discus and women's shot put.
The Harlingen, Texas, native opened the day by recording a distance of 15.00 meters en route to a third-place finish in the shot put. Thompson would later secure fourth place in the discus throw after notching a personal-best throw of 46.95 meters. With the results, Thompson now sits seventh all-time in school history for both events.
Senior Casey Sullivan also recorded a top-10 mark in the women's shot put, logging a personal-best toss of 14.91 meters to move into eighth in Wake Forest history.
Junior Seren Rodgers concluded a solid individual showing at the Bob Davidson Challenge by securing a top five finish in the women's 100 meter hurdles. The Taunton, England, native crosses the line in 14.20 seconds, pushing her into seventh in school history.
Meanwhile, junior Hunter Jones clinched the Deacs' lone first-place result of the meet as he clocked a time of 3:47.42 in the men's 1500 meters.

From the Staff
"Great start to the season. Next week will tell us a lot as we ramp up the level of competition and open up a good portion of our team. Everyone is working hard and my staff is cohesive and doing an incredible job. Next week should go well." - Director of Track & Field and Cross Country John Hayes
"Incredible weekend for the Wake throws squad. Every thrower who competed set at least one new personal best. The group experienced success across all the throwing events with multiple conference qualifiers and potential regional qualifiers. We are set up to have a great season." - Assistant Coach Justin Clickett
"Great outdoor opener for our group. Our team stayed hungry over the last few weeks as we transitioned from the indoor to the outdoor season, and it showed with several personal bests and strong season opening performances. We're excited for what's ahead for this team." - Assistant Coach Ryan Grinnell
Up Next
Wake Forest returns to action next weekend as they participate in the Raleigh Relays from Thursday, March 26, to Saturday, March 28, at the Dail Soccer Field/Track Complex.
