TAMPA, MARCH 27, 2019 – The USF track and field team will take part in two meets this weekend, as the Bulls head to the University of Texas for the Texas Relays and the University of Florida for the Florida Relays.

The Texas Relays begin on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., but the Bulls will not compete until Thursday at 3 p.m. when Bruce Robinson (Little Falls, N.Y.) participates in the hammer throw. USF closes its competition Friday at 6:40 p.m. with the 400 Meter Hurdles.

USF will first be represented at the Florida Relays Friday at noon when Ashley Wilson (Tampa) competes in the hammer throw. The Bulls wrap up the meet Saturday at 4 p.m. with the high jump.
The Bulls enter the meets coming off a strong showing last weekend at the Bulls Invitational at the USF Track and Field Stadium.

Sophomore Kiara Miles (Tampa) won three events in the heptathlon and recorded 4,265 points to defeat her closest competition by 369 points. Miles won the 100-meter hurdles (14.47), the shot put (38-02.25) and the javelin throw (95-00.00) on her way to victory.

The 4x100 meter relay team of Shenica Bazile (Naples, Fla.), Chelsea Francis (Jacksonville), Jada Massie (Bradenton, Fla.) and Destiny Fairley (Jarrell, Texas) raced to the title after crossing the line in 46.31 seconds.

Freshman Arielle Boone (Land O' Lakes, Fla.) won the crown in the triple jump after posting a distance of 38-08.25.

Senior Stephanie Lambeth (Frankenmuth, Mich.) placed first in the pole vault with a height of 12-07.50, while fellow senior Ashley Wilson (Tampa) had a distance of 169-03.00 in the hammer throw to take first place.

On the men's side, junior Maurice Nock (Sanford, Fla.) won the 100 meters with a time of 10.64 seconds, and junior Yohance Haynes (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) crossed the finish line first in the 800 meters after posting a time of 1:51.50.
