OXFORD, Miss. -- Lady Rebel Tisha Parker picked up an NCAA automatic qualifying distance in the long jump, while Rebel Savante' Stringfellow continued his long jump dominance as part of the Ole Miss Invitational Saturday afternoon. The Rebels were 6-1, losing only to the University of Memphis, and Lady Rebels went an undefeated 7-0 in the duel meet format.

Parker, a junior All-American long jumper, topped her previous season best, falling just short of her school record long jump, with a leap of 21-4 to win the event. She also finished second in the triple jump, with a mark of 39-2.5, which she has already provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships. In addition, Parker, along with Willette Woods, Wanikka Vance and Teneeshia Jones, won the women's 4x100-meter relay.

Stringfellow, also a junior All-American long jumper, won his third long jump competition of the season and is now three-for-four for the year. With his second consecutive jump of over 27 feet, Stringfellow set a new meet and track record, with his mark of 27-0.75. In addition to his performance in the long jump, Stringfellow finished second in the high jump and fourth in the 200 meters.

All-American sprinter Jones was also a big winner for the Lady Rebels. She finished just ahead of Vance to win the 100 and 200 meters, won the 100-meter hurdles and was a member of the winning 4x100-meter relay team.

On the men's side, Kino Mosley, Chad Dixon, Stacy Andrews, and Dominik Fuhrmann also finished well for the Rebels. Mosley finished second in the 400 meters and 7th in the long jump, while Dixon finished second in the 3,000 meters and Andrews finished second in the hammer throw, with a school record distance of 161-4. Dominik Fuhrmann finished third for the Rebels in the 800 meters.

Other Lady Rebels of note were Chika Chuku and Brandy Mack, who won the 800 meters and 400-meter hurdles respectively. The women's 4x400-meter relay team also ran a season best time of 3:45.10 to win the final women's event of the competition.

Ole Miss will split the squad next weekend, as some of the Rebels and Lady Rebels will travel to the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Penn., while the remaining members will travel to the Louisiana-Monroe Relays in Monroe, La.
