Cavs find success at Wake Forest Open

Sophomore Yemi Ayeni broke a Virginia men's track and field record Saturday at the Wake Forest Open. His 190' 11" discus toss broke Virginia's previous record by 10 inches.

Other Cavaliers -- both from the men's and women's teams -- performed well at the meet. Senior Erin Crawford was the only competitor to complete the 400-meter hurdles in less than one minute, running at 58.83. Both Ayeni and Crawford qualified for the NCAA regional meet as a result of their performances this weekend.

In the long jump, senior Tomika Ferguson came in fifth place with a jump of 19' 2", while junior Kathryn Tershel came in seventh, jumping 18' 7.75".

In the 200-meter dash, junior Reuben Jones and freshman Brian Lee both won in their divisions.

The team will next compete Friday at the Stanford Invitational.

Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
