Shannon Wommack won the 3000 meter steeplechase at the University of Tennessee’s Sea Ray Relays with a meet record time of 10:21.49.
Wommack’s time qualified her for the NCAA Regional Championships and was also a Tom Black Track record.
Wommack also won her section of the 1500m run late Friday to finish 11th overall with a time of 4:30.07.
The UTC women’s Distance Medley Relay team finished in 11:51.22, good for seventh place, two spots ahead of the host Lady Vols.
Ellen Davis finished ninth in the 3000m run, finishing in 10:37.98.
Ian Mayne finished ninth in the men’s 3000m Steeplechase, while Linas Salkauskas was 12th.
The remainder of the men’s track team was in Nashville competing in the Boston-Moon Classic, hosted by Tennessee State.
Michael Mentz was the first of four Mocs in the top seven in the 1500 meter run, finishing second by a quarter of a second. His margin over teammate Colin Sullivan was even slimmer at five one hundredths of a second. Freshman Jordan Longstreth was fifth and Jeff Taylor was seventh.
Rookie Kevin Huwe was third in the 3000m, finishing in 9:02.14. Fellow freshman Michael Billingsley was third in the 800m.
The Mocs have one final tune-up prior to the Southern Conference Championships. That opportunity comes at the Vanderbilt Invitational next weekend.
