LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The Scarlet team won the annual Scarlet & Gray Challenge, a head-to-head intrasquad competition between UNLV's track & field's student-athletes. The Scarlet claimed the yearly scrimmage held at Myron Partridge Stadium & Sheila Tarr-Smith Field Friday by 14 points, 120 to 106.
"Our intrasquad meet is a fun way to round out the fall semester and see where we are in our training," said head coach Yvonne Wade. I'm really pleased with the performances and we look forward to a strong track season."
They Gray won six of the 11 events, but came out on the losing end despite victories from Cortney Miller (weight throw/17.87m), Brooklyn McAlpin (high jump/1.60m), Myshauna Alexander (javelin/34.34m), Amber Sanford (triple jump/11.35m), Auzsane Crowe-Carter (600m/1:32.4) and Spencer Moore (mile/5.04).
The Scarlet got first-place finishes from Ayana Gales (long jump/5.65m), McKenna Howard (shot put/14.75m), Amari Norris (60m hurdles/8.8), Monay Meggs (300m/39.3) and Destiny Smith-Barnett (60m/7.2).
Three of those victories were claimed by newcomers in the mile (Moore), 60m (Smith-Barnett) and shot put (Howard), while a fourth was decided by one-tenth of a second between Meggs and Laura Anuakpado (39.4) in the 300m.
The UNLV "A" relay team comprised of Anuakpado, Verondrea Austin, Kylee Vandenberg and Crowe-Carter defeated foursomes from men's tennis, football and softball.
The Rebels open up their 2015 season with an indoor meet in Flagstaff, Ariz., Jan. 30-31 at Northern Arizona's Mountain T's Invitational.
