GREENVILLE, N.C. - By virtue of a 10th-place finish in the 400-meter dash at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, freshman Aiesha Goggins has earned Second-Team All-America accolades from the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The Durham, N.C., native is the second female in the East Carolina track and field program to garner All-America honors in as many seasons, as Tynita Butts was a first-team honoree last year after placing seventh nationally in the outdoor high jump.
Goggins was just the second female runner in school history to earn a place at the NCAA Outdoor Championships after Dava Rhodes competed in the 10,000-meter run in 1994. She was also part of the first-ever female relay team (4x400) in the program annals to earn a bid to nationals as that group holds the school record at 3:35.75.
Winner of both the indoor and outdoor Conference USA 400-meter dash, Goggins qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round by running a 51.94 at the league's outdoor meet. That time was the 19th-fastest in the world that week and is currently in the top 40. Additionally, she set the C-USA Indoor Championships record in February with a time of 54.15.
