McWilliams leads Lady Roadrunners at Kip and Kirk Outdoor Mule Relays

The State Fair Community College (SFCC) Lady Roadrunners track and field team competed at the Kip and Kirk Outdoor Mule Relays hosted by the University of Central Missouri at Walton Stadium/Kennedy Field on April 9 and 10 in Warrensburg.

On Thursday, the Lady Roadrunners 4 x 100 m relay team finished sixth in a time of 48.60.

Sophomore Laiysha Freeman of Kansas City, Mo. finished seventh in the long jump with a jump of 5.42 meters.

Sophomore Jocelyn Nunez of Independence, Mo. finished eighth in the long jump with a jump of 5.35 meters.

Freshman Kamaree Pollard of Mount Vernon, Ill. finished eighth in the 200-meter dash in a time of 25.03.

On Friday, freshman Callie McWilliams of Shelbina, Mo. won the triple jump with a jump of 11.64. Pollard finished seventh in the triple jump with a jump of 10.97 meters.

Pollard also finished third in the 100-meter dash final with a time of 12.48.

"We did well at UCM given the circumstances," said assistant coach Kellin Loch. "We competed at Coffeyville on Wednesday, UCM was day two or even three days of competing in a row, which can be taxing. We had great finishes from a few of our athletes. Kamaree Pollard took 3rd in the Women's 100m dash. Callie McWilliams won the triple jump. It's encouraging to see these top finishes from our athletes at bigger meets, especially when they're a little tired. We've got some resilient athletes, and they're proving to us what they can do."

SFCC will return to action on Saturday, April 18 at Culver-Stockton.
