The Fairleigh Dickinson men's and women's track and field teams will compete for the third time of the 2012 calendar year at the Terrapin Invitational hosted by the University of Maryland at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, MD.
Their last time out, the Knights took part in the Armory Invite, competing at the historic Armory in New York City for the second weekend in a row.
Senior Senghor Kamguia (Watertown, NY/Watertown) headlined the men's team last weekend with a personal best triple jump of 14.34m. The mark was the second best in the Northeast Conference so far this season and qualifies Kamguia for the IC4A Championships.
On the women's side, senior Christine Taylor (Bronx, NY/Washington Irving) (800m) and sophomore Keyana Hynds (Bronx, NY/A. Philip Randolph) set personal records at the Armory Invite.
Last year at the Terrapin Invitational, the women's team won the distance medley relay with a time of 12:35.23. Returning from the relay team are Lena Kraus (Darmstadt, Germany/Georg-Buechner-Schule), Juanita Caldwell (Pleasantville, NJ/St. Joseph) and Annemarie Pantke (Bremen, Germany/St. Johannis-Schule).
Then-junior Zacharia Ahmed (Hightstown, NJ/Hightstown) also had a productive day with a 10th place finish with a shot put throw of 14.87m last year.
