The Salukis are coming off the Joey Haines Invitational last weekend, which was held on the campus of SEMO in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
A total of 16 Salukis were able to reach the podium over the course of the two-day meet. A'veun Moore-Jones and the men's 4x100 squad were captured gold in their respective events. Moore-Jones placed first in the shot put by securing a mark of 17.10m (56' 1.25"). That mark was a new personal best for her in outdoor shot, and currently ranks as the 9th longest mark in the NCAA. The men's relay squad of Caleb Massiah, Jeremiah Hamilton, Corey Sherrod, and Ja'Den Johnson won their event in 42.14.
Moore-Jones and Darrione Williams were named Missouri Valley Conference Field Athletes of the Week on Wednesday for their performances over the weekend. Williams placed second in the men's long jump and third in the men's triple jump. He recorded new personal bests in each event.
