Scarvelis, UT Relays Shine at Tiger Paw Invite
February 10, 2018 | Track & Field
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Tennessee junior Stamatia Scarvelis won the women's weight throw, the UT relay squads posted season-best times and the Big Orange men and women combined for six individual bests on Saturday at Clemson's Tiger Paw Invite at Clemson Indoor Track.
Scarvelis' winning throw came on her third attempt, which went for 21.33 meters (69-11.75). She has now taken first place in the weight throw in four-straight meets in 2018.
The Tennessee women's 4x400 of Brooklynn Broadwater, Shania Collins, Lenysse Dyer and Felecia Majors took fourth place with a time of 3:32.90, which is UT's fastest women's 4x400 since 2016 when the quartet of Dyer, Majors, Layla White and Felicia Brown set the school record at 3:30.56. That time should also vault the UT women's 4x400 in the national rankings from No. 20 entering this week to the top 10.
On the men's side junior Kwantreyl McConico led the Vols with a fifth-place finish in the 200 meters, clocking a career-best time of 20.99 to become just the seventh Vol to crack 21 seconds in the indoor 200 meters. He joins an elite list that includes record-holder Christian Coleman (20.11), Rubin Williams (20.36), Justin Gatlin (20.42), Leonard Scott (20.47), Evander Wells (20.72) and Mustaqeem Williams (20.86).
The Tennessee men's 4x400 squad of Williams, McConico, Ari Cogdell and Nathan Strother took fourth place with a UT season-best time of 3:06.93. That time also ranks fourth in Tennessee history.

UT next heads to the 2018 SEC Indoor Track & Field Championships, which will be held Feb. 24-25 at Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium in College Station, Texas.
