BOCA RATON, FL - Ashani Roberts' triple jump title highlighted the Florida Atlantic track team's performance at the Alumni Invitational, hosted by the University of Miami.
Roberts' leap of 39 feet, 6.5 inches was good enough to take the title by nearly a foot over the second place finisher. Toyria Mattear ran well at the meet, finishing 6th in the 400 meter dash and 3rd in the 400 meter hurdles. Mattear's time of 1:00.46 in the hurdles is best in the conference this season and came in season debut in that event.
Several runners set personal records including Lindsay Lucas (4:52.35) in the 1,500 meters and Katie Quick (10:45.84), Aubriel Rowe (10:48.16), Megan Bary (11:09.19), Deanna Loafman (11:18.38) and Emily Seymore (11:37.38) in the 3,000 meters. In the men's 1,500 meters, Eric Dansky and Eric Kessler both set personal records in that event.
