BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Scovia Ayikoru broke the school indoor record and took third in the 200-meter dash and tied her own school record while placing sixth in the 400 as the Georgia Southern track and field team competed in the Samford Bulldog Open in the Birmingham CrossPlex Saturday.
Ayikoru ran the 200 in 24.26 and the 400 in 55.34. Hannah Wise finished second and posted the second fastest time at Georgia Southern in the 3000, topping her own mark with a 10:24.01.
Imani Moore finished sixth in the long jump (5.68m), and Shania Parkinson placed 10th in the shot put (12.68m).
Quotables from coach Kelly Carter
"We came to the Bulldog Open so that our student-athletes could get prepared to compete in the Birmingham CrossPlex for the Sunbelt Indoor Championships next week, and this is a great tune-up meet for us. We had some great performances and learned some lessons. We had a school record fall and had people move up the all-time list. I'm very happy about where we are headed and very proud of the team."
Next Up
The Eagles compete at the Sun Belt Indoor Championships Feb. 21-22 at the Birmingham CrossPlex.
