Track & Field Honors Senior Class, Wraps Up 2026 Joe Walker Invite
4/11/2026 | Track and Field
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss track & field honored its senior class as it concluded its final home meet of the season, earning several more impressive performances to close the 2026 Joe Walker Invitational on a beautiful Saturday at Prefontaine Stadium.
Freshman Patchnalie Compere, fresh off setting the Haitian national 200-meter record last night, ran second leg on Ole Miss' best 4x100-meter relay of the season alongside Zion Lockette, Royanah Farmer and anchor leg Alicia Burnett. The quartet passed the stick in 43.65, the seventh-best time in school history and the fastest since Ole Miss' national title winning 42.34 in 2024.
The Rebel men nabbed another win in the 4x1, this time with the quartet of Dekell Minor, Jordan Urrutia, Tarique Wright and Joshua Knox clocking in at 39.20 – just two hundredths off their season-best 39.18 set at LSU last weekend.
Later in the day, Urrutia was the victor in the 100-meter dash, running an impressive career-best 10.24 into a -1.6 headwind – moving him to No. 8 in school history. Minor was the runner-up, clocking a wind-legal Ole Miss best 10.33 into that same headwind.
Wright had a career-best of his own in the 400-meter dash, finishing seventh at an overall PR 48.26.
Ole Miss took the top three spots in the women's edition of the 100-meter, with junior Royanah Farmer leading at a season debut 11.65 (-1.1). Jumpers Lizzie Hatton (2nd, 11.91/-1.1) and Indya Dotson (3rd, 11.98/-0.1) followed Farmer for the top-three sweep.
Ole Miss won three event titles in the field, including from national champion seniors Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan and Arvesta Troupe in their final home meets as Rebels. Robinson-O'Hagan took the shot put at 20.61m/67-07.50, while Troupe was victorious in his outdoor season debut at 2.15m/7-00.50. Freshman Ashton Hearn was the winner in the men's discus at 54.08m/177-5.
Other notable performances included freshman Temidayo Owoyemi in the women's shot put (3rd, 15.43m/50-07.50; No. 11 all-time), junior Skylar Soli in the women's discus (3rd, 48.93m/160-6; No. 11 all-time), redshirt freshman Indya Dotson in the women's triple jump (3rd, 11.91m/39-1; wind-legal PR) and freshman Carmela Coulter in the heptathlon (5th, 4,731; No. 13 all-time).
Ole Miss track & field returns to the road next week, heading to the Virginia Challenge on April 17-18.
