HAMPTON, Virginia -- After a six-year hiatus, the Hampton Relays resumed business on the blue track of Armstrong Stadium this weekend. As expected, the host Pirates excelled on the oval, but the stars of the day may have been a few of their alumni.Olympic gold medalist and 400-meter indoor world champion Francena McCorory ran three events, as did two-time NCAA champion Yvette Lewis. In the women's 400 relay, McCorory and Lewis combined with fellow alums Breana Norman and Teiara Denmark to decimate the college teams with a time of 45.02, two seconds ahead of runner-up Campbell University.
Not to be outdone, the Hampton Alumni quartet of Reggie Dixon, Charles Clark, Je'von Hutchinson and Brandon Jones raced to a 40.43 win in the men's 400 relay, edging Virginia Union (40.65). Hutchinson also won the open 400 in 46.65.
But McCorory was not done. Later in the day, she breezed to a win in the 200 (23.01), and then saved the best for last, anchoring the winning women's 1600-meter team with a split of 50.1.
