FAMU Head Coach Darlene Moore was selected as the MEAC Women’s
Track and Field Outstanding Coach.
Saturday’s triumph was a sweet end to a long journey of rebuilding for Moore, who inherited a once-proud program that had fallen on hard times when she arrived in the summer of 2009.
“The girls and the coaching staff were a bit heartbroken
after indoors when we finished in fourth place,” Moore said. “We made a pact
where we wanted to work hard and improve on our positioning and take home the
victory at this year’s outdoor track and field championship.”
Seven FAMU women were named to the 2015 MEAC All-Conference Team;
Judith Kibii (5000m, 1500m, 3000m SC); Ashley Ivey (Triple Jump); Andrea Aaron
(discus, javelin); Jasmine Smith (4x400); Destiny Johnson (4x400); Raven Diggs
(4x400); Jharna Alston (4x400).
