Bush Wins Four Events at Rhodes 7-Way Meet

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Sophomore Dakarai Bush had a hand in half of 16th-ranked Harding's eight event victories Friday at the Rhodes 7-Way Meet.

The Tatum, Texas, native won the 400 meters in 48.28, won the 110 hurdles in 14.27, ran the second leg of the victorious 4x100-meter relay (41.89), and ran the anchor leg of the winning 4x400-meter relay (3:12.16).

His 400-meter time was a PR and his 110 hurdles time was an NCAA provisional, just off his season-best of 14.25.

Junior Fallou Gaye won the 800 m in 1:55.27 and sophomore Nikolasz Csokas won the 400 hurdles in a provisional 53.03.

The 4x100 relay team was Krishaun Watson, Bush, Jamaric Hill and Davion Smith, and the 4x400 team included Smith, Gaye, Csokas and Bush. The mile relay time of 3:12.16 was the fifth-fastest in Division II this season.

Harding added two event victories in the field events. Freshman Antiwain Jones won the high jump at a provisional height of 2.05 meters or 6 feet, 8.75 inches. Senior Austin Parrish won the pole vault at a provisional height of 5.22 meters or 17 feet, 1.50 inches, moving him into sixth place nationally in Division II. Sophomore Dorian Chaigneau cleared a provisional 4.90 meters or 16 feet, 0.75 inches.

Harding's next action is Saturday, April 23 at the Red Wolves Open, hosted by Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
