Sutton, Turner Post Historic Marks Friday At Texas Tech Invite
February 01, 2020 | Track & Field
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Two Lady Vols recorded the No. 2 marks in program history in their respective events Friday evening, as sophomore Alonie Sutton (triple jump) and senior Domonique Turner (60-meter hurdles) highlighted performances for Tennessee at the Texas Tech Invitational.
With a leap of 13.47m (44-2.5), Sutton recorded the No. 3 mark in the NCAA this season in the women's triple jump and took third place at the meet. The Smiths Station, Alabama, native's performance went down as a new lifetime-best and improved her standing as the No. 2 performer in program history.
In the 60-meter hurdles, Turner took a tenth of a second off her personal-best on Friday, clocking in at 8.10 in the semi-finals. Converting to 8.12 for altitude, the mark moved Turner from No. 5 to No. 2 on the school's all-time top 10 list, passing Olympic gold medalist Benita Fitzgerald (8.18) and three-time world champion Nia Ali (8.13). Turner is now .08 seconds away from the program record, set by Lady Vol alumna Celriece Law in 2009.

For the evening, Tennessee posted seven indoor personal records and eight top-8 finishes. Read below for more notable highlights from Friday.
