Bulls Set Six, Top-10 All-Time Marks in Weekend Meets

Sophomore Bruce Robinson recorded the second-best hammer throw, and ninth-best shot put in program history

TAMPA, APRIL, 1, 2017 – The University of South Florida track and field team participated in the Texas Relays, the Florida Relays and the Bobcat Invitational.

Of the six top 10 program marks that the Bulls set, two were achieved by sophomore Bruce Robinson (Little Falls, N.Y.). His hammer throw distance of 187-3 at the Bobcat Invitational was the second-best all-time at USF. Robinson also registered a 49-4.5 distance in the shot put, ninth best in program history.

In his first competition of the outdoor season, senior Michael Babinec (Riverview, Fla.) ran the 3k steeplechase at the Florida Relays on Friday. His time of 9:01.87 ranks fourth in school history.

Sophomore Jada Massie (Bradenton, Fla.) ran the 100m dash at the Texas Relays in 11.60 seconds, just missing her personal best of 11.57. Sophomore Chelsea Francis (Jacksonville, Fla.) improved on the eighth-best time in program history with an 11.72 second run in the 100m dash.
