BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Junior sprinter Bralon Robinson flew past the competition once again, winning the 60m dash for the second consecutive meet with a time of 6.79 seconds, the third-fastest time in the SWAC this season.
Robinson placed sixth in the preliminary portion of the event in seven seconds flat but kicked it into high gear in the semifinals, winning that leg of the race in 6.83 seconds before claiming first place in the finals. He also holds the fastest recorded 60m dash time in the conference during this indoor season when he ran a 6.77 in the Jaguar Invitational.
"Tremendous effort from the kids and staff," said head coach Jimmy Joseph. "We had a lot of personal-bests at this meet, we got some quality work in and we look forward to carrying that same mindset and energy into conference!"
Juniors Kamathe Daniel and Marcus Sims each broke their previous personal-record in the 60m as well, posting marks of 7.13 and 7.14, respectively.
In the field events, junior Braheem Bishop and senior James Graves each earned a top-ten finish. Bishop placed eighth in the high jump at 1.85m to go along with a ninth place finish by Graves during the long jump (5.93m).
Junior Josias Jean notched a top-15 placement in the 400m at 50.62 while also participating in the 200m (22.75).
Sophomore JaKobe Rogers ran in the 200m with a time of 22.78.
Junior Jeremy Gamble accumulated a 52.06 second score in the 400m dash while classmate Peterson Saint-Cyrin ran a 2:07.83 800m.
Three Braves runners finished the mile as junior Titus Kibii (5:00.61), senior Tyreq Miles (5:06.35) and sophomore Elliott Pak (5:35.56) all ran valiantly.
