4x100 Relay Team Sets CMS Record at Redlands Invitational

Redlands, Calif. - The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's track and field team set another program record as the 4x100 relay team of Quincey Williams, Christian Campbell, Nick Teresi and Joshua Martinez ran a 41.08 for the fastest time in CMS history on Friday at the Redlands Invitational.

Williams, Campbell and Teresi were part of the old record of 41.15 set last year, and came into the race ranked fourth from an event earlier this year. However, they were able to trim just over a tenth of a second off their time, and move up from fourth to first in program annals. 

Campbell set an individual record already this season with a 10.47 in the 100 meters at the Pomona-Pitzer All-Comers meet, breaking a record which had stood for 35 years, before going on to earn All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Campbell was second in the 100 with a 10.73, the fastest time among collegiate runners, while Martinez ran a 14.82 in the 110-meter hurdles, just .08 off his PR that ranks second in program history.

Sarath Kakani came in second in the shot put with a throw of 16.0 meters (52'6"), adding over two feet onto his PR and moving him up from eighth place in CMS history into fifth. Truman Knowles was third in the javelin with a throw of 57.19 meters, and Jason Bowman came in fifth in the hammer throw at 47.83 meters.

Jamie Cockburn finished in third place in the 200 meters with a time of 21.86, behind only a runner from Division II Cal State Los Angeles, and one who was running unattached (Teresi also finished 14th in 22.48 and Williams 17th in 22.64 to put three Stags in the top 20). Leo Sundstrom was eighth in the pole vault at 4.30 meters, Colin Scanlon finished ninth in the 400 hurdles with a 57.48, and Kumi Selva was tenth in the triple jump at 12.82 meters. 

CMS will be back in action in two weeks when it competes in the second SCIAC Multi-Dual, hosted by Caltech.
