LAFAYETTE – Janae Allen swept the women's hammer and discus events Saturday, accounting for two of eight wins and 20 top-three finishes for Northwestern State at the Cole-Lancon Invitational track and field meet hosted by Louisiana-Lafayette.
 
The event was the final competition for NSU before the May 11-13 Southland Conference Championships.
 
Allen approached but did not top season bests as she captured titles in the hammer (164-2) and discus (150-5), with teammates Shakemia Johnson throwing 136-9 for second in the discus, and Keona Jackson marking 151-10 for third in the hammer.
 
Chantel Bratton took the shot put title with a 45-10 ¾ best and teammate Keona Jackson was runner-up (44-8 ¼).
 
Aaron Williams won the men's triple jump at 46-0 ¾ with his twin brother Emmanuel second (44-11 ¾). NSU's Jerrica Tillery (38-2) and Sarah Jones (37-6 ¾) went 2-3 in the women's triple.
 
Sarah Emory gave the Lady Demons a win in the 5000 with an 18:24.51 time. Consuela Lindsay ran 1:00.89 to take the women's 400 meter hurdles.
 
The Demons swept the relays, starting with a 41.06 clocking in the 4x100 meter race from Trey Hatton, Karllis Perry, Kendal Taylor and Keenan Jackson.
