TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The University of North Florida track and field team captured a season-high five gold medals on Friday evening at the Seminole Twilight Invitational, hosted by Florida State University.
"This was a good meet for us," Head Coach Jeff Pigg said. "Thankfully, they dodged the weather and we had a lot of kids perform really well today. That's really all you're looking for this close to the conference championships."
Junior David Shepherd grabbed his second individual win of 2013 in the pole vault, grabbing a mark of 4.90m to take the win. Freshman Marcus Blessing and senior Noah Thompson tied for sixth in the event with a height of 4.60m.
The 4x400m relay team brought home the other gold medal for the men's team, as freshman Jamal Pitts, sophomore Jake Menan and seniors Justin Mims and Aaron Tillman clocked a time of 3:17.27, the Ospreys fourth-fastest time of the season.........READ MORE CLICK HERE
