Sophomore
Manika Gamble finished fourth in the 100-meter hurdles and seventh in the 200-meter dash to lead the High Point University women's track & field team at the Joe Hilton Carolina Fast Times meet at UNC on Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C.
"That was a good opportunity for sharpening for Manika," said HPU head coach
Mike Esposito. "She will be able to focus on just the hurdles next week at the Big South Championship. I also thought
Joy Hunt and
Lynee Pina threw well in the discus tonight, both of them have really been improving. It was also good to see
Christina Fenske equal her career best in the high jump."
