Last Time Out For the Bulls
USF athletes left and right were posting solid results at the LSU Alumni Gold Meet as well as the Tom Jones Memorial Classic at Florida last weekend. The highlight of the weekend occurred when sophomores Jared Thomas and Casey Wagner each won the title in their respective events, the discus and the javelin, at LSU.
Thomas threw 183-9 in the discus, while Wagner went 151-10 in the javelin to take home top honors. In addition, the Bulls added several more qualifying marks on both the men's and women's side, including three more 400 times all-together. Sophomore David Aristil and freshman Pascal Orelus improved their all-time bests in the 400 and inched closer to school record holder Carlton Mitchell.
Also making a splash was freshman Neamen Wise, who qualified in the 400 hurdles and the long jump, two events the decathlete has excelled in the most over the years, as he continues to get healthy following a hamstring injury earlier in the year.
