Â
CULLOWHEE, N.C. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshmen Rebekah Bryant and Rebekah Hampton each jumped personal bests Friday afternoon at the Beynon Sports Catamount Classic hosted by Western Carolina in Cullowhee, N.C.
Â
Hampton improved her distance in the long jump from 4.87 meter to 5.07 placing 14th overall. Bryant edged out her previous best jump with a distance of 4.96 meters, placing 19th.
Â
Taylor Grayson had a season-best 41.12 meters in the hammer throw, just missing her career-best distance.
