BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The University of Tennessee at Martin track and field programs got off to an impressive strong start in its first meet of the 2021 indoor season at the KMS Invitational on Sunday afternoon held at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
Freshman Darius Holland posted one of the biggest performances in his Skyhawk debut by earning medalist honors with a school-record on his first jump in the finals of the long jump with a distance of 7.03m. He later just missed out on another medalist position in the high jump with a fourth-place finish with a mark of 1.95m.
In the men's 60m dash, the pair of Colby Martin and Marquerious Hayes both posted impressive showings in their 2021 debuts with PRs of their own. Martin recorded a time of 7.20 seconds while Hayes wasn't far behind at 7.32 seconds.
The Skyhawk women were well represented in the women's 60m hurdles as three athletes posted top-20 finishes. Anndrea Chester led the group with a time of 10.26 seconds while Addison Taylor (10.54) and Timeria McCullough (11.42) rounded out the trio.
In the men's 800m, Jhon-Wes Walker finished in eighth-place with time of 1:59.3.
Rounding out the top contributions for the men's squad was the 4x400 meter relay team of Corey Smith, Martin, Walker and Hayes which finished ninth in a tough field with a time of 3:32.16.
UT Martin will return to action on Friday, Feb. 5 when competing at the Redhawk Invite hosted by Southeast Missouri.
