CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson track and field program is back on the road as the team travels to Gainesville, Fla., ahead of its two days of competition at the Florida Relays from April 2-3. This will serve as the third weekend of competition for Clemson during the outdoor campaign and will be the second time in eight years that the team competes in the meet. Clemson enters the Florida Relays after two strong weekends of competition, as the Tigers have already combined for 35 personal bests and eight top-10 marks in the program’s record book.
The trio of Veronica Fraley, Danielle Sloley and Zico Campbell have been excellent in the shot put ring this season, as the three athletes have each recorded a top-10 mark on their respective all-time lists in each of the opening two meets of the season. Roje Stona returned to competition for the first time in nearly a month at the FSU Relays, winning the men’s discus competition and eclipsing the 58-meter mark on three of his six throws.
