IRVING, Texas - Senior Victoria Merriweather dominated the competition at last weekend's Conference USA Indoor Track & Field Championships and was subsequently voted the Female Field Performer of the Meet by the league's coaches, the conference office announced Friday afternoon.
Competing in the women's weight throw, Merriweather topped the field of 35 student-athletes with a personal record distance of 21.40 meters (70'2.50") to take gold and earn 10 points for the 49ers. The throw set a new Charlotte school record, eclipsing her previous-best throw of 20.73 meters from earlier this season. It also broke the C-USA Indoor Championships meet record which was held by Dayana Octavien of South Florida and has stood since 2004.
