BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --The Samford University track and field teams notched a flurry of super performances at the South Alabama Jaguar Invitational on Sunday, Feb. 7.

Held at the Birmingham Crossplex on Super Bowl Sunday, Bulldog athletes set a pair of school records, posted six top-five performances and recorded a number of personal bests.

In only the third meet of her young career, freshman thrower Tatiana Taylor broke the existing indoor school record in the women's weight throw, recording a personal-best heave of 17.53 meters (57-6 ). A native of Kennesaw, Georgia, Taylor earned a third-place finish in the event before setting another personal record of 12.45 meters (40-10 ) in the women's shot put later in the meet.

On the track, the women's 4x400-meter relay team lowered the indoor school record in the event, posting a time of 3:48.18. Composed of Sarah Sanford, Abbie Cutcliffe, Victoria Wicks and Kimberly Ruch, the relay tallied a third-place finish.

Junior Courtney Prengaman also earned a top-five finish in her event, placing fourth in the women's high jump with an indoor personal-best leap of 1.69 meters (5-6 ).

Although the Samford men didn't participate at full strength, due to the need for rest and recovery, they still mustered an array of top performances, specifically in the pole vault.

The trio of Tray Oates, Gavin Gautreau and Chris Thrasher all soared over the bar at a height of 4.97 meters (16-3 ), placing third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Notably, the mark represents Thrasher's second consecutive meet with a personal-record vault.
