Limestone's Brown and Cheeseboro Named Conference Carolinas Women's Indoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Limestone College's Zawadi Brown and Shandora Cheeseboro have been named the Conference Carolinas Women’s Indoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week, respectively, for meets held Jan. 22 - Jan. 28, the Conference announced today.
A junior from Walterboro, S.C., Brown recorded two new personal bests this past weekend at the 2018 Liberty Kickoff on the way to notching a provisional qualifying mark. Her time of 7.67 seconds in the 60m dash not only improved her previous best time, it also set a new program record and further solidified her place at the top of the league in that event. Brown also competed in the 200m dash, setting a new personal best of 25.64 seconds, which, when converted for track size, places her third in the conference.
Cheeseboro, a freshman from Batesburg-Leesville, S.C., earned the first provisional qualifying mark of her collegiate career this past weekend at the 2018 Liberty Kickoff. Her triple jump mark of 11.63 meters (38' 2") hit the provisional qualifying standard in that event exactly, as well as earning her 5th place at the meet. That mark was also good for a new school record and is the third-best jump in the league so far this season.
