Seahawks Wrap Up First Day of Darius Dixon Memorial

LYNCHBURG, Virginia – Three UNCW student-athletes moved into the school's top-10 charts as the Seahawks wrapped up the opening day of Liberty's 9th Annual Darius Dixon Memorial Indoor Invitational late Friday.
 
Sophomore Janiyah Fields, from Cary, N.C., clocked a 7.67 in the 60 Meters and jumped up to No. 5 all-time in the event. Senior Jayda Hunter moved into No. 8 in the 60 Meter Hurdles with a time of 9.01 and Nasiah Ferguson clocked a PR of 58.38 to climb to No. 8 on the 400 Meters list.
 
"We came into the meet prepared," said fourth-year head coach Jeff Klaves. "We're happy with our performances and look forward to continuing tomorrow. Our sprinters performed well and we had great execution from our three long jumpers as well."

In addition, senior Jayda Hunter moved into eighth all-time in the 60 Meter Hurdles with a time of 9.01.
