RALEIGH, N.C. – The Marshall University Track & Field program secured two top-five finishes and numerous personal bests while competing against one of the largest meets of the entire season Thursday and Friday at the Raleigh Relays.
The highlight of Friday came in the Men's Triple Jump, where Otenidi Omot and Cam Hamby each broke the school record for the second-consecutive weekend after taking down a 1996 school mark last week in Florida. Omot earned a third-place finish with a personal-best mark of 15.45 meters, while Hamby finished just behind him in fourth place, also setting a personal record at 15.44 meters. The duo, combined with Trashaun Smith lead the Sun Belt Conference in the event by a sizable margin.
In other field events, Markayla Moore set a personal-best and a fourth all-time school mark with a 14.23 meter throw. The women's throwing squad also saw success, with Halie Wynter (38.76m) and Jenna Olsen (35.28m) achieving personal bests in the discus. In the men's discus, Gabriel Urraca had the second-best mark in men's shot since 2023 with a 15.67 meter throw.
On the track, several Herd athletes set new personal or season marks. On Thursday, Maxton Sowers set a Top-3 mark and PR in the 1500 with a 3:53.06. Sophomore Justin Lipscomb paced a Top-3 mark in the 5K with a 14:38.98. In the men's 400 meter, Wyatt Milhoan ran a personal-best time of 48.97. For the women, freshman Iniya Charlton led the sprinters with a 24th-place finish in the 100 meter dash, clocking in at 11.83 seconds. Fellow freshman Dior Carney recorded a personal best in the same event with a time of 12.19.
