HOUSTON — Xavier University of Louisiana earned three top-10 finishes but no new NAIA national qualifying marks in the Rice Victor Lopez Classic track and field meet Saturday.The highlight was a fifth place from the women's 400-meter relay team of Martina Latting, Alexis Milton, Justyce Riggs and Ry-Anne Riley. Their time was 46.86 seconds — the Gold Nuggets' second fastest ever. It's the fourth time in as many meets that XULA has met the NAIA A-standard in this event.
The XULA relay team finished ahead of seven NCAA Division I teams. Last week the squad set a school record of 46.66 at the Louisiana Classics meet.
Tamia Scott was seventh in the women's javelin with a season-best 34.28 meters/112 feet, 5 inches. Edward Angel, already a national qualifier in the men's high jump, placed third in 2.07 meters/6 feet, 9 1/2 inches.
XULA will travel to Alabama Friday for the University of Mobile Invitational.
