STATESBORO, Ga. – For the third consecutive week in row the Georgia Southern track and field team traveled to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to compete in the Camel City Invite. The Blue and White finished the weekend with multiple top-20 finishes.
The successful weekend at the JDL Fast Track allowed four Eagles to edge their way into the conference standings. Ellunde Montgomery, Kaitlin Rocker, Sholonda Snell, and Jamelia Owens all moved up in the conference standings in multiple events.
Montgomery moved into the top-20 in the Women's Mile after post a time of 5:11.40 in Winston-Salem. Montgomery also moved into 11th in the conference, along with two fellow teammates, in the Women's 5000 meter event. Kaitlin Rocker sits in fourth place in the 5000 meter event after posting a time of 18:28.73 at the Camel City Invite. Sholonda Snell rounds out the Eagles in the 5000 meter event placing 14th.
Jamelia Owens moved herself into third place in the Sun Belt Conference standings after a very successful showing in the Shot Put. Her throw of 14.32 allowed her to surpass South Alabama's, Autavia Fluker, for third place and give her a comfortable lead heading into next weekend's events.
The Eagles will travel to Birmingham, Alabama, the site of the 2018 Sun Belt indoor Championships to compete in the Samford Invite and Multi. The Blue and White will then have a week off before heading back to Birmingham for the Indoor Championships.
