UMES? Fothergill Finishes 11th In The Nation in 400m Dash

Senior sprinter Allodin Fothergill  wrapped up his spectacular indoor season for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore this weekend at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Fothergill ran a 47.04 in the 400-meter dash on Friday, which was good for 11th overall. He failed to qualify for the finals, as only the first eight advance.  Fothergill needed to run a 46.69 or better to qualify.

This is the senior's fifth trip to the NCAA Track and Field Championships.  Last spring, he was named All-American in Outdoor Track and Field.

The Hawks open the 2010 Outdoor season March 19-20 at the Wake Forest Open in Winston-Salem, N.C.
