MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Sophomore Sarah Nambawa placed fifth in the triple jump Friday, leading a small group of Middle Tennessee tracksters at the 114th Penn Relays Carnival at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, Pa.

Nambawa placed fifth in the triple jump on Friday morning with a mark of 42-11.75, her second-best mark of the outdoor season. She finished 15th in the college long jump Thursday after posting a mark of 19-0.75.

The men's 4x100-meter relay of sophomore Phillip Tanner, junior Carl Morgan, senior Carlos Morgan and junior Samuel Adade was 20th in the preliminaries with a time of 41.18 on Friday, while the same foursome finished 12th in the 4x200-meter relay prelims with a time of 1:25.34.

Carlos Morgan placed 20th in the men's college long jump but participated despite being slightly dehydrated because of the very warm weather in Philadelphia on Friday.
