Track & Field Sprinters Shine at Conclusion to 2024 SEC Outdoor Championships
5/11/2024 | Track and Field
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ole Miss track & field's sprint group strung together a historic series of successes to highlight a superb final day of the 2024 SEC Outdoor Championships for the Rebels on Saturday.
The Ole Miss throws unit dominated the first two days of competition, but Saturday belonged to the speedsters on the track – particularly the Rebel women following wins in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles, and a historically fast runner-up finish in the 4x100-meter relay.
All-American senior and two-time NCAA runner-up McKenzie Long had no problem with the target on her back as the defending SEC champ in the 200-meter, repeating in blazing fashion. Long had the lead heading into the curve and was able to repel a late charge by South Carolina's JaMeesia Ford and LSU's Thelma Davies, crossing the line in an SEC meet record and world-leading 22.03 (+0.6) for the victory.
"Honestly, I was just thinking about my form," Long said of the tightly contested final 100 meters. "Don't break it, and that's what carried me through the line."
Long is the first repeat champion in the women's 200-meter since LSU's Kimberlyn Duncan won three in a row from 2011-13 – a span in which no school repeated in the 200, let alone the same athlete.
That time, though, further establishes Long as a force to reckon with on the world stage heading into an Olympic summer. Not only does it put her atop the world leaderboard for 2024, but it also makes her the No. 5 collegian in history and the 22nd-ranked American ever in an event that the United States has shined in for decades.
"(Winning) means the world to me," Long told SEC Network following her victory. "Coach (Holland Sherrer) came to me this week and was like, 'I'm letting you loose,' so that's what he did. I'm looking forward to what's to come."
Long's win was within 20 minutes of the first SEC title of the day for the Rebels, an astounding upset victory in the women's 400-meter hurdles by star sophomore Gabrielle Matthews.
Matthews has lit the track on fire all season across her events, but she has been especially torrid on the track in Gainesville as she entered Saturday with two school records in the hurdles in her previous two outings. Saturday was no different right from the gun, going stride-for-stride down the backstretch with the heavily favored Rachel Glenn of Arkansas.
Glenn started to separate coming off the turn and had built a lead heading into the final hurdle, but clipped her trail leg and took a tumble to the track. Matthews, meanwhile, never broke stride from her record pace and crossed the line as the conference champion in an incredible time of 55.12.
"I just tried to keep my stride pattern open, the 400 hurdles is all about the pattern," Matthews said. "I've been training real hard, and I've always been in my own lane focusing on myself, and that paid off today."
Matthews' victory makes her the first Rebel woman to ever win an SEC title in the 400-meter hurdles, as well as only the second across the combined history of the program alongside Lee Ellis Moore's victory in the men's edition in 2011.
That 55.12 takes down Matthews' previous Ole Miss record of 55.82 from the prelim just two nights ago, and it puts her into contention to make Jamaica's national team for the upcoming Olympic Games. This season, she now ranks No. 1 among all Jamaicans, No. 3 in the NCAA, and all-time she now ranks No. 19 on Jamaica's leaderboard.
"(Winning) means a lot," Matthews said. "I have a good support system, a good coach, good trainers. It means a lot scoring points for this team."
Those two title-winning performances are more impressive in hindsight, though, when you consider what they both ran mere hours beforehand in the women's 4x100-meter relay.
The Rebel quartet of senior Akilah Lewis, Long, Matthews and senior Jahniya Bowers posted the best finish ever by an Ole Miss 4x100 team, taking runner-up honors at a stunning time of 42.47. Ole Miss was neck-and-neck with Tennessee and LSU from the gun, and by the time Bowers received the baton for the anchor leg it was a dead-heat to the finish.
Bowers was able to clip LSU anchor Tima Godbless at the line, though, giving the Rebels their first silver medal in the event – trailing only a new NCAA-lead from champions Tennessee at 42.42. Only one other Ole Miss 4x1 team ever finished as high: the 1984 SEC men's runner-up foursome of Earl Bridges, Perry Cartlidge, Clarence Daniel and Tony Dees.
That 42.47 by the Rebels today obliterates their previous record of 43.31 set on this same track one month ago at the Tom Jones Memorial, and it ranks Ole Miss as the No. 7 collegiate 4x1 squad of all-time and the fourth-best in SEC history. This season, that time puts the Rebels at No. 2 in the NCAA and No. 7 in the world.
Bowers also chipped in three more points for the Rebel women as the sixth-place finisher in the 100-meter dash final, clocking in at a near-PR of 11.16 (+0.3).
In the men's 110-meter hurdles, senior Ahmad Young Jr. had a career day as the fourth-place finisher. Young Jr. added five points for the Rebel men after running a wind-legal PR of 13.50 (+0.4), which improves upon his spot at No. 3 in Ole Miss history and ranks No. 18 in the NCAA this season. Young Jr. is now one of just three Rebels to ever run at least 13.50 in any wind conditions, joining Olympian Antwon Hicks and multiple-time All-American John Yarbrough.
Other scorers for the Rebels on Saturday included Drew O'Connor in the men's pole vault final (fifth, 5.30m/17-04.50), Toby Gillen in the men's 1500-meter final (seventh, 3:44.89; SB) and Madison Hulsey in the women's 1500-meter final (eighth, 4:21.42).
Ole Miss ended up sixth in the women's team scores at 66 points, the fourth top-six finish in the last six SEC Outdoor meets for the Rebel women after only doing so once prior to 2018. The men, meanwhile, were seventh overall at 51 points – 20 of which were scored by SEC Commissioner's Trophy winner Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan after his wins in the men's hammer and shot put across the first two days of action.
Up next, Rebel athletes who are qualified and declared will travel to the University of Kentucky for the NCAA East Regional, held May 22-25 in Lexington, Kentucky.
