CLEMSON, S.C. -- Tennessee's 400-meter sprinters and throwers stood out on Friday at the Bob Pollock Invitational at Clemson Indoor Track.
Senior Nathan Strother took the men's 400 meters with a time of 46.39, which ranks as the fifth-fastest time in the nation this season. Strother's 46.39 is also his fastest indoor 400 meters since he clocked a 46.28 at the 2016 NCAA Indoor Championships to take silver.
Senior Felecia Majors took third in the nine-section, 35-runner field of the women's 400 meters, clocking her season-best time of 53.85, which ranks ninth in the nation.
Junior Stamatia Scarvelis won the women's shot put with her first throw of 16.09 meters (52-9.50).
Freshman Jordan West and sophomore Joseph Maxwell took second and third, respectively, in the men's shot put. West threw a personal-best 18.30 meters (60-0.50) on his fourth attempt. Maxwell threw 17.73 meters (58-2.00) on his fourth attempt.
Freshman Alexis Duncan opened the day with a strong showing in the women's 60-meter hurdles prelims, qualifying for the evening's final with a time of 8.45. She was even better in the final, finishing third with a PR time of 8.34.
The Bob Pollock Invitational continues on Saturday. Tennessee will begin competition at 11 a.m. ET with the women's weight throw, women's high jump and men's triple jump.
