April 9, 2005

OXFORD, Miss. - Senior Shantel Glass is one of several seniors who continue to shine for the Ole Miss track and field teams.

Glass turned in his best mark of the 2005 season as he jumped 25-5.25 in taking home the title.

"This was an outstanding day for track and field," said Ole Miss head coach Joe Walker. "We could not have asked for better weather. On top of that our kids came and and really performed well. I am so thrilled to have these senior leaders on our team. They are laying a very nice foundation for the future of Ole Miss Track and Field."
