CHARLOTTE, NC - The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) has named Faith Kiplimo and Sheree Wright the Week #2 CIAA Track and Field Athletes of the Week, respectively. 

Faith Kiplimo, a sophomore nursing major from Eldoret, Kenya, delivered a breakthrough performance at the JDL Early Bird Meet, recording a personal best time of 4:51.07. Her effort earned a second place finish overall while setting a new Fayetteville State school record. The mark also met the NCAA Division II provisional qualifying standard and currently ranks Kiplimo No. 1 in the Atlantic Region and No. 5 nationally in Division II. 

Senior Sheree Wright opened her season with a strong and composed showing at the JDL Early Bird Meet. Wright cleared 1.57 meters (5-01.75) to earn a fourth place finish in a competitive field. 

The team will return to competition January 17 for the HBCU Showcase Presented by Nike Running in New York, New York.
