SCOUTING THE MEN…
The Owls' men's side is coming off a strong outing at the world-renowned Penn Relays, which were held last weekend. Junior Gabe Pickett, who is the defending A-10 Triple Jump Champion, won the event last week at Franklin Field, helping him to A-10 Performer of the Week honors. Pickett's longest triple jump mark this season, (15.36m) which was set at the Miami Alumni Invitational, is tied with Charlotte's Anthony Campbell for the longest in the A-10. Derek Holland ranks just short of those two with his mark of 15.18m, while Pickett is also tied for fourth in the conference in the long jump (7.08m) with Charlotte's Isaac McReynolds.
Collectively, the men set season-best times in multiple relay events last week at Penn Relays. The Owls' 4x400 relay team, comprised of: Alan Harding, Carlton Stafford, Damian Myers and Lionel Wilson won last Friday's heat with a time of 3:13.03 to advance to Saturday's running. Harding's season-best time in the 400 meter dash is ranked fourth in the A-10.
Myers, Stafford, Pickett and Darryl McDuffie rushed for a season-fastest time of 41.76 in the 4x100 relay at Penn Relays. Temple is ranked third and fourth in the A-10, respectively, in those relay events this season.
Sophomore Matt Kacyon will be attempting to snag Temple's third-straight steeplechase individual title. So far this season, Kacyon holds the A-10's fifth-fastest time in the event. In his last running of the steeplechase, he came away as the event champion with his time of 9:13.94 at the Mason Spring Games.
In other field events, sophomore Michael Deitzler holds the longest mark in the A-10 for the javelin throw (58.58m) which he set at the Danny Curran Invitational. His classmate Justin Berg owns a third place ranking in the league for hammer throw with a toss of 54.83m.
SCOUTING THE WOMEN…
For a fourth-straight A-10 Championship meet, sophomore Margo Britton will be looking to come away as the shot put champion. The indoor season's Most Outstanding Performer of the Year was the conference title-winner in the outdoor event last year and at the previous two A-10 Indoor Track & Field Championships. Last week at the Penn Relays, Britton placed second in the shot put for the second straight season. Her season-best mark (14.95m) came at the Texas Relays and is the longest in the A-10 this season. Britton will also compete in the discus throw.
Isatta Kenneh, Ambrosia Iwugo, Demisha Davis and Shanae Bailey combined for a time of 46.39 in the 4x100 meter relay earlier this season at the Miami Alumni Invitational. That time was the team's fastest this season and currently ranks third in the A-10. Iwugo has also paced the Owls in the dashes, while senior Jade Wilson has set the tone for her team in the hurdles. Iwugo's time of 55.61 in the 400 meter edition is fourth-best among A-10 runner this spring, while Wilson own the same rank in the 400 meter hurdles.
Temple's 4x400 meter relay squad, made up of: Iwugo, Tonney Smith, Tessa West and Michelle Davis Timothy, has been nearly as effective. The Owls are ranked third in the A-10 with their season-best time in the event of 3:45.87, which was also attained in Miami.
Sophomore Kiersten LaRoche is the defending A-10 heptathlon champion. A week ago at Penn Relays, she set the conference's second-longest mark of the season when she won the high jump (5.96m) with her career-best leap. Freshman Jamila Janneh has been a key contributor in the jumps this season as well, having the A-10's fifth-best triple jump mark (12.14m).
Temple has also had quality performances from sophomore Jenna Dubrow and junior Anna Pavone in the distance event. Dubrow ran the 5000 meter run in 17:30.12 earlier this season, while Pavone's time (4:42.18) in the 1500 meter run is the team-best.
