AUSTIN and SAN MARCOSJustine Jimoh won the high jump event for the second week in a row, this time it was the 'B' section on Friday at the Texas Relays inside Mike A.

TEXAS RELAYS (Live Results HERE)
Jimoh (Benin, Nigeria) entered at 6-7 (2.01m) and cleared it on the first try. He needed just one attempt to clear 7-1 (2.16m) as well, while Harding's Antiwain Jones also cleared 2.16m, but Jimoh was declared the winner of the 'B' section of the high jump based on fewest attempts. This is the second time in four years that a Lion won either the 'A' section or the 'B' section of the men's high jump.
 
The 4x100 meter relay squad of Tyke Owens (Lebanon Trail), Enoch Fosuhene (Accra, Ghana), Ibrahim Fuseini (Accra, Ghana), and Oguz Uyar (Turkey) timed 40.50 seconds for 19th place. Uyar was 27th with a time of 10.384 seconds in the 100 meter dash timed final, while Owens was 29th with a time of 10.393 seconds.
 
Celeste Sela (Mont de Marsan, France) jumped a wind-aided 19-9.5 (6.03m) for third in the 'B' section of the women's long jump. Jordan Johnson (Guateng, South Africa) clocked in at 14.74 seconds in the men's 110 meter hurdles timed final.
