FAIRFAX, Va. – The UMass Lowell women's track and field team rounded out the weekend with day two of the Dalton Ebanks Invitational at Geroge Mason University in Fairfax, Va. On Saturday.

The shotput was next, and it was sophomore Nhyira Nkansah (Chelmsford, Mass.) that led the way with an 11.75m toss for 11th place. Joyce Nabagereka finished in 14th place with an 11.30m mark. Also, Sophomore Úna Brice (Cork, Ireland) finished in eighth place as the lone River Hawk in the pole vault with a 3.22m mark.
In the discus, Nabagereka finished ninth on a tiebreaker with a 35.89m toss, before Nkansah set a personal record at 32.17m for 16th place. Â
"The throwers had a good weekend," said Gardner. "Joyce making finals was excellent."
The 400m opened up the running events, as freshman Amelia Stebe (Honolulu, Hawaii) led the way in 15th with a time of 59.06, before junior Danielle Thompson (Groton, Mass.) claimed 18th place with a 59.16 mark.
