KNOXVILLE — Middle Tennessee’s 4 X 200 women’s relay team established a new school record, and track sensation Rosemary Okafor continued to dominant tough fields in the 2004 Sea Ray Relays in Knoville Friday.

The 4 X 200 relay team of Jessica Anderson, Kerry Barrow, Contrena Brown and Kishara George set a new school record with a finishing time of 1:35.74, besting the mark of 1:35.87 in 2001.

Okafor also enjoyed another smashing performance as she raced to a first-place finish in the 400-meter with a NCAA Regional-qualifying
time of 53.07. Okafor has now qualified for the NCAA Regionals in four individual events — the 100-, 200-, 400-, and 800-meters.

Greg Jones was second in the triple jump with a disance of 49-03.75. Victor Okorie qualified for the NCAA Regional in the 400-meter hurles with a time of 51.43. He finished fifth overall.

Xavier Darden was sixth in the 100-meter with a time of 10.60.

The Sea Ray Relays continue Saturday at the University of Tennessee.
