NASHVILLE, Tenn. ÃÆ'Æ'¢ÃƒÆ'¢'¬" Auburn track and field established 17 personal records in a productive outing at the second day of competition at the Vanderbilt Invitational.
"I thought we did a really good job this weekend," Auburn head coach Ralph Spry said. "I like where we are as a team at this point. With the inclement weather, we had a short week of training, but I think that we did a good job of competing this weekend. It's a long season, so we just need to keep on working and building on these first two competitions."
Nathon Allen, running indoors for the first time in his career, won the men's 400m with a time of 46.68 with teammate Randall Ceneus crossing the line in 46.87 to complete the one-two finish.
Xavier Coakley placed third in the men's 60m hurdles with a time of 7.85 and Jenae Ambrose made her 2018 debut in the women's 400m, finishing fourth with a time of 54.91.
Mark Rubalcaba established a new personal best in the men's triple jump clearing 50-4/15.34m to place fifth. Jakayla Hand took fourth in the women's event with a mark of 41-5.35/12.63m.
In the men's mile run, six of the nine Tigers competing set a new personal record. Senior Wesley Curles led the way with a fifth place finish with Silas Kipngetich and Wesley Pectol also finishing in the top-10.
Auburn will return to action Jan. 26-27 at the Bob Pollack Meet in Clemson, S.C.
