COLUMBIA, S.C. | The Florida A&M track and field program wrapped action at the Carolina Challenge with two first-place finishes. DJ Lawrence highlighted the first day (Jan. 19), and Breanna Brown-Marshall spotlighted the second (Jan. 20), as the women's high jumper claimed first with a 1.78-meter attempt and later came in at second place in the long jump invite (5.81 meters). 

Florida A&M recorded eight total medalist honors; unsurprisingly, the 4x4 relay teams continued to dominate. Both the men and women posted season's bests, with the latter (Tionna Brown, Rori Lowe, Tatianna Martinez, Alesia Douglas) crossing the finish line third overall in 3:49.02. Kirk Dawkins was part of the men's relay and also posted an individual accolade with a second-place 800-meter run (1:53.65). 

The program returns to the University of South Carolina next week for the South Carolina Invite (Feb. 2-3).
