AUBURN – Texas A&M track & field's Morgan Davis highlighted the second day of the SEC Championships as she secured the long jump title Friday at the Hutsell-Rosen Track.

Davis captured the second title of the week for the Maroon & White, and in doing so ensured her sweep of the indoor and outdoor SEC long jump titles. The contest came down to the final round, where Davis ranked fifth before her attempt. Needing a career-best mark, she did just that with a leap of 6.55m/21-6 to claim her win. The mark also moved her up to No. 3 in A&M history. In the men's event, Khybah Dawson also secured points after an eighth-place result following a jump of 7.58m/24-10.5.

The pole vaulters maintained the point scoring in the field, as Aleksandr Solovev and Leo Bowen delivered for the men's team. Solovev made it back-to-back years with a medal at the outdoor championships, capturing bronze with a clearance of 5.55m/18-2.5. Bowen matched his personal-best mark of 5.40m/17-8.5 which tied for seventh.

Debora Cherono tacked on five points of her own to the women's total in the 3,000m steeplechase, as the sophomore clocked 9:51.44 which landed her fourth.

Milena Chevallier started the point scoring earlier in the day in the women's high jump after clearing 1.76m/5-9.25 to finish seventh.

The Aggie hurdlers had a perfect qualifying round, as all four athletes advanced to tomorrow's finals.
