NASHVILLE, Tennessee --- Four Flying Tigers earned top finishes at the Ed Temple Classic on Sunday as the Tennessee State men’s track and field team competed at the Gentry Center for the first time this indoor season.
On the track, James Faison posted the fastest 200m time, clocking in at 22.05 for first place. Thomas Mosley’s 800m time of 1:56.29 was good for first, while Jemarruse Amos won the finals of the 55m hurdles in 7.61.
Michael Willingham Jr. captured first in the weight throw with a distance of 15.24m (50’).
Among the three Division I teams competing, Tennessee State placed first with 60 points.
Next on the schedule for the Flying Tigers are the Blazer Invitational on Jan. 12 and the Vulcan Invitational on Jan. 13 – both in Birmingham, Ala.
Tennessee State Director of Track and Field Chandra Cheeseborough-Guice“To even mention Coach (Ed) Temple’s name in a sentence is a blessing and an honor to me. To be at home competing, you train on the track every day and you should be used to it. Sometimes you do well and sometimes you don’t. We’ve got to go back and start all over. It’s just a blessing and an honor to keep remembering Coach Temple.”
