Preview: Golden Tigers Track & Field Set for Third Outdoor Meet at Doc Anderson Invitational

TUSKEGEE, Ala. — The Tuskegee track and field program will continue its 2025 outdoor campaign this weekend at the Doc Anderson Invitational, hosted by Troy.
 
 The two-day meet is set to take place on Friday, April 4, and Saturday, April 5, at the Jesse H. Colley Track Complex in Troy, Alabama.
 
The Golden Tigers enter the meet riding a wave of momentum following an impressive showing at the UAB Spring Invitational last weekend in Birmingham.
 
The team produced a host of top performances, highlighted by standout sophomore sprinter An'Janae Latchinson, who made program history by breaking the school record in the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.15 seconds, taking first place in the event.
 
She also added a fifth-place finish in the 100-meter with a time of 12.21 seconds, continuing her strong start to the outdoor season.
 
Tuskegee's women's team also excelled in several field and distance events at UAB.
 
De'Shell Carr, Amira Broussard, and Jahkaya McBurney each placed inside the top 10 in the 100-meter hurdles, with McBurney recording a new personal record of 14.87 seconds.
 
The women's 4x100 meter relay squad of Broussard, Carr, McBurney, and Latchinson claimed sixth overall with a time of 48.75 seconds.
 
In the distance races, Anaya Martin finished 17th in the 5000 meters (20:19.51) and 23rd in the 1500 meters (5:17.07), while Akierah Walker turned in a new personal best in the 800 meters at 2:23.53.
 
Danielle Wilson, Matealia Harper, and Serenity Mitchell led the charge in the women's throwing events, with top-20 finishes in both shot put and javelin.
 
On the men's side, Tuskegee's depth was on full display. The 4x100 meter relay team of LaQuenton Underwood, Justice Northern, Shawn Jarrett II, and Ethan Zagore Jr. placed second with a time of 41.77 seconds.
 
In the 4x400 meter relay, Jarrett, Northern, Jackson Murry, and Zagore claimed third place with a time of 3:17.33, while the team of Jamarqus Jones, Javonte Andrews, Carl Richards, and Jayden Davidson finished sixth at 3:23.48.
 
Individually, Northern shined with top-10 finishes in the 400 meters (49.68) and 200 meters (21.76).
 
Jarrett continued his success in the hurdles, securing second place in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 55.09.
 
In the field events, KeyWun Rowles and Christian Sanders each tied for third in the high jump with personal bests of 1.80 meters, while Jackson Murry finished third in the pole vault (4.30m).
 
The Doc Anderson Invitational will serve as another important test for the Golden Tigers as they face a field of talented competitors across multiple divisions.
 
With strong performances already under their belts this spring, Tuskegee aims to continue its upward trajectory, improve marks, and build consistency heading into the heart of the outdoor season.
