After the dust settled at the Tiger Track Classic, the Auburn track and field team had collected seven gold medals, including a facility record.
"Overall, I'm pleased with the weekend," said Auburn coach Ralph Spry. "We had a lot of people win events, but some of our marks were short of where we want them to be. It was windy, so that was a factory on the oval races. We competed well and felt good about our efforts."
Senior Rachel Dincoff took home a gold medal in the discus throw with a distance of 54.07 meters, and she finished third in the shot put with a throw of 16.83 meters, a personal best.
Senior Samantha Scarlett took a gold medal in her first outdoor competition of the year, as she finished the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 13.22 seconds.
In the 400 meter hurdles, junior Sashel Brown claimed another gold medal with a time of 58.58 seconds.
Jessie Johnson, who is the school record-holder in pole vault, cleared 4.15 meters to win the event.
Veronica Eder finished first in the 3000 meter, breaking a facility record with a time of 9:35.92 — a personal best. Rachel Givens took home the gold in the 3000 meter steeplechase with a mark of 10:50.81.
Kylee Carter added yet another gold with a 48.55 meter mark in the women's javelin throw on Friday night.
All-American Teray Smith finished second in the men's 200m with a time of 21.01, but he was the first collegiate finisher.
