TicketsINDIANAPOLIS – The University of Cincinnati men's and women's track and field program recorded three event victories and four UC all-time top 10 marks over the weekend at the Crossroads of America inside the Fall Creek Pavilion.
Graduate students Fred Moudani-Likibi (Shot put), Naquille Harris (60m), and junior Kya Epps (60m) recorded victories in their events, while graduate students Amanda Ngandu Ntumba (Shot put), Hannah Blood (Weight throw), senior Nadia Collins (Long Jump), and Epps (200m) entered the record book.
Mondani-Likibi, in his first meet back since the 2023 season, performed like he never left, taking home the victory after a shot-put of 19.21m, almost a full meter further than second place.
Cincinnati dominated in the sprints. The Bronx, N.Y., native Harris ran a blazing time of 6.70 in the men's 60m to notch the win. Epps claimed first place in the women's 60m after a lightning-fast 7.35 time. The Akron, Ohio native also excelled in the 200m, capturing the second fastest time in program history, 23.41.
Collins jumped 6.05m, garnering third place. She now owns the fourth furthest distance in program history. Ngandu Ntumba etched her name into the record book after securing a shot-put throw of 16.57m, placing her second all-time and fourth in the event.
The Glossop, United Kingdom native, Blood, attained a weight throw of 18.40m, the fifth furthest in program history. Graduate student Astley Davis achieved second place in the triple jump after leaping a total of 15.57m.
