Women’s relay team competes at NCAA Championships

DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Middle Tennessee women’s 4x100-meter relay team placed 19th in the event preliminaries Wednesday evening at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Rosina Amenebede, Christal Wilson, Nyeisha Wright and Kiara Henry joined together to clock a time of 45.37 seconds, placing sixth in the competition’s first heat. Unfortunately the result was not good enough to advance the team to the event finals.
