EMERSON, Ga. – In what has become a regular occurrence, sophomore Nia Elmore (Hinesville, Ga.) broke two of her own records, this time as Clayton State women's track & field saw action in a total of 12 events at the Dunamis Super Meet in Emerson, Georgia on Friday, February 9. It was the first indoor meet held in the State of Georgia since the United States Track & Field (USTAF) Championship was held from March 2-3, 2001.
 
Elmore took down records for the sixth time in four meets this season as she broke her own 60-meter mark with preliminary time of 7.90 before shattering it in the finals with a mark of 7.79. The latter performance led to a 5-of-35 finish in the 60-meters. She also added a strong performance in the 200-meters coming in at 10-of-45 (26.17). Fellow sophomore Jasmine Radford (Lawrenceville, Ga.) added a 16-of-45 outing in that same event with a time of 26.55.
 
Junior Destiny Johnson (New Iberia, La,) delivered a 6-of-12 finish in the high jump (1.55m) and placed 9-of-20 in the triple jump at 10.75-meters. Junior Sierra Glenn (Riverdale, Ga.) put forth a strong effort, finishing of 8-of-19 in the 400-meters at 1:02.86 and 27-of-45 in the 200-meters (27.76).
 
Freshman Abigail Campbell (McDonough, Ga.) finished 11-of-35 in the shot put with a distance of 11.77 meters and sophomore Shockera Betty (Tallahassee, Fla.) managed to beat out half of the competition with a 15-of-31 outing in the long jump at 4.90 meters.
 
Additionally, the Clayton State quartet of Glenn, Elmore, sophomore Bianca Kamara (Lilburn, Ga.) and freshman Chaviya Jackson (Albany, Ga.) came in 1-of-3 in the 4x400 meters with a time of 4:12.12.
 
The Lakers are now off until Sunday, February 25 when they head to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to compete in the JDL Last Chance Meet.

Elmore has lowered the program 60-meter time five times this season and broken the 200-meter mark.
