SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The University of Maryland track and field teams completed day one of competition at the Meyo Invitational on the campus of Notre Dame Friday night. Leading the Terrapins was Kierra Foster, who broke a meet and track record in the long jump at the Loftus Sports Complex in South Bend, Ind.
The women's long jump provided a series of drama on the evening. To begin, Terrapin Kierra Foster set a new meet record and track record with a solid 21-10 leap early in the fourth flight. Little did Foster know, however, that the record she broke was set by 2003 Notre Dame graduate Tameisha King - who was also competing in the meet on her quest for making the U.S. Olympic Team. Foster held the meet and track record for a few minutes, as King leaped 21-0 to reclaim her two record marks.
Foster's leap was a provisional NCAA qualifying mark.
The track and field teams wrap up competition at the Meyo Invitational tomorrow, while also competing at the George Mason Invitational in Fairfax, Va. Check back to umterps.com for updates and results.
