Helton, Buchanan Set Program Records In Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. – Highlighted by program records by Jesse Helton in the Discus and Sadie Buchanan in the 400 Hurdles, UNCW posted a strong showing at the Raleigh Relays this weekend in Raleigh.

The Raleigh Relays was a great three-day event to showcase our progress," said UNCW Head Coach Jeff Klaves. "We showed throughout the meet we're progressing as we should and we're looking forward to continuing that improvement all season."

Helton opened the impressive performance with a toss of 170-10 in the Discus on Friday. It was his third record-breaking performance of the spring. At the Seahawk Invitational, he fashioned new program standards in both the Shot Put and the Discus.

Buchanan, meanwhile, already owned the program's freshman record in the 400 Hurdles and posted a program record time of 59.94 seconds.

Jace Wynn, another UNCW freshman, clocked in with a program freshman record time of 46.93 in the 400 meters. That time moved him into fourth on the all-time list.

Also adding UNCW top-10 performances were Ava Jayaraman (Discus, eighth, 135-4), Bailey Willard (Hammer, seventh, 161-6), Jamisyn Aillet (Javelin, fifth, 136-7), Lucas Smith (400 meters, fifth, 47.23), Graham Cannon (Shot Put, fifth, 49-11 3/4).

Cameron Wright posted a third-place finish in the 110 Hurdles with a time of 14.07 seconds on Friday and later ran 10.42, tying for seventh in the 100 meters to another top-10 finish.

It's a quick turnaround for the Seahawks as they next compete at the Vertklasse Meeting, on Apr. 2-3, in High Point, N.C.
