COLUMBIA, S.C. – Another week, another record down as Clayton State men's and women's indoor track & field competed at the USC Open on Saturday, February 22.
 
Senior Jasmine Radford (Lawrenceville, Ga.) stole the show among the contingent of three Lakers seeking NCAA Division II Championships qualifying marks as she reset her own 200-meter record for a second straight week.
 
Competing against runners from all three levels of the NCAA as well as the junior college and unattached ranks, Radford posted a time of 25.02 to finish 8-of-72. That time lowered her own program record of 25.19 that she set just last week at the KMS Open.
 
Senior Nia Elmore (Hinesville, Ga.) delivered another solid performance in the 60-meters as she finished 11-of-57 with a time of 7.71. That was just 0.04 away from an NCAA Provisional mark.
 
While that mark was just off of a provisional, senior Chris Florence (Newnan, Ga.) would clear it by that same margin in the 400-meters. In that one he would post a time of 48.47 to finish 12-of-81 in that event and put his name on the provisional qualification list.
 
Clayton State will now await word on if any individuals will earn qualification to the NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships from March 13-14 in Birmingham, Alabama.
