TOM JONES MEMORIAL RESULTS | WAKE FOREST INVITE RESULTS

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Clemson wrapped up a jam-packed weekend at the Tom Jones Memorial and Wake Forest Invitational with a slate of standout performances, highlighted by a school record, multiple all‑time top‑10 marks and several event wins across both meets.

At the Tom Jones Memorial in Gainesville, Fla., Aniyah Kitt delivered the Tigers’ top performance of the weekend, breaking her own school record in the women’s 100m invite with an 11.11 finish. Clemson added three more all‑time marks on the track, including Shaneal Clarke Giddings’ time of 2:05.20 in the women’s 800m invite, which placed her No. 10 in program history. The women’s 4x100m relay of Aleksandra Stoilova, Kitt, McKenzie Calloway and Briana Campbell ran 43.28, the third‑fastest time in school history, while the women’s 4x400m relay of Brynn Buelow, Shanque Williams, Kitt and Gladys Chepngetich (who flew in from Winston-Salem) clocked 3:28.78, the No. 2 mark all‑time.

The Tigers also produced two top‑10 marks in the Tom Jones field events. Kendra Dye won the women’s hammer throw with a 61.95m effort, the fourth‑best mark in Clemson history, and Kimeka Smith added another No. 4 all‑time performance with a 16.54m throw in the women’s shot put. In the men’s pole vault, freshman Matthew Phillips cleared 5.05m to tie the Clemson freshman record and finish fourth overall.

Clemson’s sprinters and hurdlers also shined with Oneka Wilson’s fifth‑place 12.98 women’s 100m hurdles time in the invite final and Jalen Johnson’s 10.37 for fifth in the men’s 100m. The Tigers also earned a win in the men’s high jump, where Brandon Pottinger cleared 2.12m, and a third‑place finish from Shantae Foreman in the women’s triple jump invite at 13.80m. Victor Ndiwa and Gideon Kiplimo each finished with top‑five finishes in both the 800m and 1500m, while Clemson’s relay squads added top‑5 finishes in both the women’s 4x100m and women’s 4x400m.

WAKE FOREST INVITATIONAL

At the Wake Forest Invitational, Clemson’s distance group delivered another set of all‑time marks. Nancy Cherop ran 4:12.68 in the women’s 1500m invite, remaining No. 4 on Clemson’s all‑time list, while Elizabeth Ilanda and Emily Lamontagne turned in historic results in the women’s 10000m. Ilanda placed seventh in 34:30.65, the No. 3 time in school history, and Lamontagne followed in ninth at 34:34.33, the No. 4 mark all‑time. The Tigers also swept the top two spots in the women’s 800m invite, with Chepngetich winning in 2:00.67 and Judy Kosgei finishing close behind in 2:01.52.

Clemson added other strong middle‑distance results, including Trey Sullivan’s runner‑up finish in the men’s 1500m, Garrett Brown’s third‑place performance in another section of the event and multiple top‑four finishes in the men’s and women’s 800m. To round out the Wake Forest Invite highlights, Madelyn Dinneen and Madison Timms each doubled back with top‑10 placements in both the 800m and 1500m.
