CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia – Nasiah Ferguson set a freshman record in the 400 Meters to highlight UNCW's finishes on Friday at the Virginia Track & Field Challenge at Lannigan Field.
 
Ferguson, from Hendersonville, N.C., clocked a 55.92 time in the Women's 400 Meters to break the 14-year-old record of 56.76 set by Alexis Kauffman in 2008. Ferguson finished 23^rd in the field.
 
Ferguson time ranks fourth all-time on the school's 400m list behind Lauren Donaldson (2008), Shenecia Sessoms (1996) and Nicole Delaine (1993).
 
On the men's side, Nickolis Anderson set a season best in the 400m at 48.25, just off his PR set last year at the CAA Championships.
 
"It was a solid day for us," said Jeff Klaves, UNCW's third-year head coach. "This is the most competitive meet we've competed in this year and we're hanging right there with the top programs in the country."
 
The Seahawks, making their eighth appearance of the spring, are competing against numerous schools, including Colonial Athletic Association rivals Towson and William & Mary.
 
UNCW concludes the meet on Saturday, beginning with the field events at Noon and the running competition at 12:30 p.m.
