Davidson Wraps Up Weekend at USC Outdoor Open
4/23/2023 11:39:00 AM | Men's Track & Field
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Davidson men's track and field team competed at the University of South Carolina Outdoor Open on Saturday and turned in a trio of top-five finishes.
The 'Cats were led by Jayden Smith who won the 110-meter hurdles with a blazing time of 13.37 seconds in the final. This time is Smith's best, but the tail-wind rating was too high to count as a new school record. Also finishing in the top-five was veteran Jordan Benson. Benson ran a wind-aided time of 13.77 seconds to take fourth.
In the 400-meter hurdles, Isaac Bynum took third place after he set a new personal-best with a mark of 52.59 seconds, and Amith Markos crossed in 56.99 seconds.
Chinedu Okeke also saw his time beneifit from the tail winds after he crossed the finish line in 10.55 seconds in the 100-meters with a wind factor of 2.7.
Miles Kominsky and Rafi Degenero competed in the 800-meters and Kominsky finished just outside the top-10 after recording a time of 1:54.85. Degenero finished with a mark of 1:58.24.
The men's track and field team will compete next friday and Saturday at UNC Charlotte's Charlotte Invitational.
