GAINESVILLE, FL. – The Miami women claimed the 4x100m relay title on the final day of the 2019 Florida Relays.
A team combined of Carolyn Brown, Alfreda Steel, Symone Mason and Tiara McMinn registered the fastest-collegiate time on the Percy Beard track with a time of 43.56 seconds. Saturday’s time cracked Miami’s all-time list with the third-fastest in program history.
All four Canes have been a part of at least one previous top-five mark, as Brown led the fastest time with Shakima Wimbley, Aiyanna Stiverne and Kristina Knott in 2017 with a time of 43.36.
McMinn and Steele returned to the track and combined to run a time of 1:33.34 with Amuru Patterson and Brittny Ellis in the Canes first 4x200m relay of the season. The Canes finished fifth overall and ran the third-fastest collegiate time in the event.
In the field events, freshman Hannah-Sophia Hall boasted a personal-best mark in the women’s shot put at 15.04m for an eighth-place finish.
