Jackson, Miss. - The Centenary men's and women's track and field teams will compete in the Belhaven Invitational on Saturday at the Belhaven Track and Field/Soccer Complex.

The Ladies and Gents last were in action on March 27 in the Dan Veach Invitational hosted by Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, Ark.

Senior Jennae Mayberry (Clovis, Calif.) had Centenary's top finish of the day in the meet as she placed eighth in the women's 100 meters with a time of 13.69 in her first collegiate meet after joining the squad upon the completion of her women's basketball season last month. Her women's basketball teammates, junior Patience Bates (Houston, Texas) and sophomore Jazzmyn Jones (Normangee, Texas) placed 12th and 14th respectively in the event with time of 14.83 and 14.98.

Senior Ashlynn Albert (Dallas, Texas), another newcomer to the team from Ladies basketball, placed 13th in the women's discus (24.97 m/81'11"), senior Lauren Pilcher (Bossier City, La.) finished 14th (23.35 m/76'7"), and Ashley Watts placed 16th (16.39 m/53'9").

Junior Payton Lii (Dallas, Texas) finished 15th in the men's 400 meters, running a time of 57.42, and freshman Jacob Vidrine (Slaughter, La.) finished 23rd in the men's 1500 meters, running a time of 4:57.28. Lii also placed 14th in the men's 800 meters (2:16.16). Inclement weather forced the meet to be called before the 200m, 5000m and 4x400m relay could be completed.

Field events will begin at 8 a.m. at the Belhaven Softball Field and at 9 a.m. at the track stadium. Running events will begin at 12:10 p.m. and multiple events including the hurdles and relay events will occur on a rolling schedule.
