COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Hurdler Michael Prejean and high jumper Pierre Shepherd took home top honors this past weekend at the Texas A&M 12-Team Invitational at the McFerrin Athletic Center.
After a slow start in the preliminary round of the 60-meter hurdles in which Prejean finished fifth, the Houston native turned it around in the finals with a first-place time of 8.12. Shepherd captured his second consecutive first place honor this season as he tied for first with a jump of 6-8.25 while Sorone Batiste finished fourth with a time of 1:55.51 in the 800.
The mile relay team also lowered its time from the previous week with a third-place finish of 3:17.74 in the meet's fastest heat.
The Panthers return to action on Jan. 31 at the Howie Ryan Invitational in Houston on the University of Houston campus.
