Track & Field Wraps Up Final Day of New Mexico Classic
2/8/2025 | Track and Field
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Ole Miss track & field put together a string of solid finishes to conclude the final day of the New Mexico Classic on Saturday.
Coming off a record-setting performance in the weight throw yesterday, Bowerman watch list member Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan recorded a throw of 20.39m/66-10.75 to finish first overall in the shot put Saturday. Robinson-O'Hagan heads into his final regular season meet undefeated in both the shot put and weight throw.
Meanwhile, in the women's shot put, sophomore Akaoma Odeluga finished second at 17.80m/58-04.75, while fellow sophomore Mensi Stiff claimed sixth at 16.45m/53-11.75.
In the triple jump, senior Iangelo Atkinstall-Daley finished third overall at 15.39m/50-6 in the men's jump, while fellow senior Dieusi Armand claimed seventh place at 12.51m/41-00.50 for the women.
In the men's pole vault invitational, sophomore transfer John Kendricks finished seventh at 5.24m/17-02.25, and was immediately followed by junior Logan Kelley in eighth place at 5.09m/16-08.25.
On the track, junior Joseph Michel (14th, 6.83) and freshman Tarique Wright (17th, 6.88) both made it through the qualifying round of the 60-meter dash. The Rebel men did not qualify in the following round, but Michel finished at a season-best of 6.80, which is tied for No. 14 in Ole Miss history, while Wright ran a career-best of 6.86.
After the second day of the New Mexico Classic, the 10th-ranked Rebel men remained in third place of the team standings and finished with a total of 52.33 points – trailing only No. 3 USC (101.5) and No. 7 Texas Tech (79). The Ole Miss women climbed to eighth place, finishing with a total of 26.5 points.
Ole Miss will return to competition on Feb. 14-15 for a weekend split three ways, with one delegation heading to Vanderbilt's Music City Challenge and the other two set for Boston's David Hemery Valentine Invitational and Arkansas' Tyson Invitational.
