HOUSTON, TX ? Senior Jon Tipton led the men with a 10th place finish in the weight throw with a career best throw of 50 feet, 0.5 inches to highlight action for the Sam Houston State track and field team in their first indoor action of the 2009 season at the Leonard Hilton Memorial hosted by the University of Houston Friday.
Chris Nelson placed third overall in the high jump (6' 8.25”), finishing as the second best Southland Conference jumper in the event with a career best mark.
TyMagic Robinson finished fourth in the 60 meter dash with a time of 6.89 seconds. Lane Dennis and Jay Newman had excellent season opening races placing third (49.67) and ninth (50.44), respectively in the 400 meter dash.
Henry Jordan won the B section of the long jump.
“We had some bright spots in our first meet,” Collier said, “but, overall we are not quite where I thought we were. We have alot of areas to improve upon. Specifically, we need to insure that we get healthy and stay healthy. Right now, at the beginning of our indoor season, we have too many key people out with small injuries. Secondly, we need more of our new athletes to step up their performance levels. I fully expect each of these to happen in the coming weeks as we adjust our workloads to reduce and/or recover from our injuries and as the newcomers get more acclimated to indoor and collegiate competition.”
