ORLANDO - Kayley Stanley, Bethlehem Manzano Jimeno and Hailey Tucker each set program records in the Knights Invitational hosted by UCF this weekend. Each have been top performers for the Gamecocks this season and continue to make strides this season.
 
Tucker also finished 0.01 seconds shy of the program record in 100m hurdle prelims on Friday before breaking the mark on Saturday.
 
"I feel like a broken record, but this was another great weekend," said head coach Jeremy Provence, "I'm incredibly happy for our team and the way they competed this weekend. We are looking strong heading into the final stretch of the season."
 
Tucker and Jimeno continue their fantastic stretches. With her 14.00 time in the 100m hurdles, she now boasts the program best in both the 100m and 400m hurdle. Alongside her new 2:07.61 800m record, Jimeno also boasts the 1500m record set earlier this spring.
 
Stanley set her new mark in the pole vault, clearing a 4.07" margin. The pole vault has seen heavy improvements this season for Jax State, with the top three performers from this season holding slots one through three on the all-time list. 
 
"Big congratulations to our new school record holders," said Provence, "All three are seniors who started their careers at Jax State. Their work ethic and commitment to our program is greatly appreciated and we are proud of their accomplishments."
 
Jadyn Bonds excelled for Jax State in the javelin throw, finishing second place at the meet with a throw of 40.94m.
 
Charity Mabuza placed 17th in the 800m, just 12 spots behind Jimeno's personal best and tabbed the seventh best time in program history.
 
Rudi Barnette also placed seventh in Saturday's 1500m while Emily Coddungtin placed ninth in Friday's 1500m invite.
