Cameron Jackson Posts 10th-Best Time in the World as Little Rock Sweeps UCA

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock student-athletes combined to break six facility records and two school records while claiming 39 medals at the Trojans swept UCA at the Little Rock Twilight Friday afternoon at the Coleman Sports Complex.
 
One of the most notable performances came from Little Rock sophomore Cameron Jackson who clocked a new school record time of 10.10 in the 100m dash. He was the top collegiate finisher as he recorded the 10^th best 100m dash time in the world this year and the third-best time in the country. His mark, which broke the 18-year old record of 10.14 previously held by Chris Johnson (who was in attendance), is the fourth-fastest 100m time in Sun Belt Conference history.
 
Jackson was joined by Cogan DeRousselle, Troy McKnight and Andre Dibbls on the men's 4x100m relay team that set a new facility record, winning with a time of 39.78. DeRousselle would also win the 110m hurdles, running 14.65.
 
Bria Allen also recorded a new school and facility record as she jumped 19-2.5 (5.85m) in the women's long jump, claiming gold. She would also score in the 100m dash, running 12.59 to finish eighth. Allen was followed by Rondaishia McNeal earning silver with a jump of 18-1 (5.51m) while Jaelyn Tucker's jump of 17-11 (5.46m) earned her bronze.
 
Overall, Little Rock's men scored 195 points to claim the team title while UCA finished in second with 123 points. On the women's side, the win was even bigger as the Trojans scored 274 points compared to UCA's 118 points.
 
A large chunk of those points came in the women's 200m, where Little Rock finished 2-3-4-6. Landri Schreier led the way with a time of 25.19 to claim silver while Maliyah Holland earned bronze, running 25.23. Helensia Green placed fourth with a time of 25.41. Christina Mboma, who won silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 200m, was the overall winner Friday as she ran a new facility record time of 22.60.
 
Schreier also ran the third leg of the 4x100m relay that finished second, running 45.78. She was joined by Gabby Ayiteyfio, Aaliyah Lacy and Maliyah Holland as the relay finished second only to the relay team from Namibia, who won with a time of 45.52. Ayiteyfio would finish third in the high jump as she cleared 5-3.75 (1.62m), matching the career-best mark recorded by Brenna Harris.
 
Desmond Frazier won the men's shot put with a throw of 50-4.5 (15.35m) while Aaliyah Mathis won the women's version, throwing 41-11.5 (12.79m).
 
Teresa Thomas was responsible for a large swath of points while breaking two facility records. She won the 400m with a new facility record time of 55.54 while also anchoring the 4x400m relay that also won, posting a facility-best time of 3:51.00. She was joined by Zoa Adams, Green and KaNeisha Jackson on the relay while Jackson found he way to gold with a new facility record time of 1:01.92 in the 400m hurdles.
