A Look Back at Outdoor Track's performance at the Coach "O" Invitational

Note:  This is one of a series of stories looking back on the best games/performances/contests of the 2010-11 Alabama State Athletic Season.  Today's "Look Back" features the performances of both the men and women at the Coach "O" Invitational hosted by Troy University.

The Alabama State women's and men's track teams had solid performances at the Troy University Coach O Invitational in the team's final tuneup before the SWAC Outdoor Championships.

The Lady Hornets had three first-place finishes, one second, and four third-place finishes, while the men's team posted one first place, two second place finishes and a trio of third-place finishes in the 10-team meet.
“We got what we needed from this meet,” Hornets head coach Ritchie Beene said. “We got some things accomplished in some areas I needed to see improvement in, but there were still some areas where I didn't quite get the output I was expecting. But we went down to Troy and overall ran a strong meet, despite the fact we didn't compete every athlete in every event that we normally would.”

On the women's side, Breana Kelly won the 800 meter run in a time of 2:13.90. Kesia Derilus won the 3000 meter steeplechase in a time of 11:36.00 in a race that saw ASU finish 1-3-4. Raheema Hodges came in third at 11:59.00, followed by Soyong Smith with a time of 12:56.00. In the shotput, Shanice Mells won with a heave of 13.41 meters.

The 4x100 meter relay team of Jamie Brooks, Tyrisha Chambers, Tokeyah Jones and Latrice Lee finished second with a time of 45.85.6 seconds. The Lady Hornets finished 3-4-5 in the 100 hurdles (Chambers 14.49.6; Fola Richardson 14.63.5; Paris Thompson 14.80.4), and third in both the long jump (Asia Tavernier 5.49 meters) and javelin (Melissa Romelus 38.07 meters).

In men's competition ASU finished 1-2-3 in the 800 meter run, where Delorean Peak (1.53.60), Charles Flewellen (1:54.30) and Christopher Duncan (1:55.40) took top honors. 

Ronald Jordan
finished second in the 400 meter hurdles (54.22 seconds). Vincent Butler finished third in the 400 meter run with a time of 49.00 seconds. Jeffrey Adams took third in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.38 seconds.
