Track and Field continues to impress heading into Indoor Championships
STATESBORO, Ga. – With just over a week until the 2018 Sun Belt Indoor Championships, the Georgia Southern track and field team traveled to Birmingham, Alabama, to compete at the Birmingham Crossplex. The complex will be the host of the 2018 Sun Belt Indoor Championships and the Eagles got a bit of practice with the facility this past weekend.
The blue and white began the day quickly with a top-10 finish by Desiree Blunt in the 200 meter finals. The Eagles continued their success taking seventh and eighth in the Mile. Sholonda Snell and Ellunde Montgomery finished less than one-tenth of a second apart from each other.
In the 5000 meter event Kaitlin Rocker and Eric Mullican finished first and second to continue the Eagles success. Eugenia Tan and Detrich Lodge both finished top-10 in the Long Jump to give them a cushion heading into next weekend's Indoor Championships. Jamelia Owens continued her success in the Shot Put with a second place finish in the event. Alexis Gant and Aundria Douglas joined the party with a fourth and fifth place in the Weight Throw finals.
The Eagles will be back in action next week heading back to the Birmingham Crossplex for the 2018 Sun Belt Indoor Championships.
