CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshman Rebakah Bryant set personal records in the Triple Jump and the 100 meter Dash at the season-ending Tri Star Classic hosted by ETSU at Science Hill High School.
Â
Bryant topped her previous best distance of 10.03 set at the Western Carolina Catamount Classic earlier this season with a jump of 10.36 meter. She finished one spot behind classmate Rebekah Hampton who was 10th with a jump of 10.43 meters, slightly shorter than her previous best.
Â
In the 100 meter Dash, Bryant bested her previous time by more than half a second with a 13.61.
Â
"Becca Bryant did great today," Chattanooga head coach Andy Meyer said. "She set a PR in the triple jump and took almost a full second off her 100 time. Becca Hampton continues to be consistent in her triple jump marks."
Â
Taylor Grayson had just one attempt in the hammer throw today and Rebekah Hampton was scratched from the 100 meter hurdles, both due to soreness.
Â
"Taylor got in one throw and her shoulder was sore so I pulled her," Meyer said. "We didn't want to injure her. We want her 100 percent at conference. We scratched Becca Hampton from the 100 meter Hurdles as she had a little soreness in her knee. Again, we want her totally 100 percent for conference.
Â
"Overall, Becca Bryant continues to make impressive improvements and Becca Hampton and Taylor are on track for the conference meet."
Â
The Mocs will take the next week-and-a-half to prepare for the Southern Conference Championships hosted by Western Carolina May 10-11.
