Givans Dominates Hurdles to Lead Women's Track & Field at Moravian Greyhound Invitational
Bethlehem, Pa. - It was another outstanding day for junior Kenyetta Givans, as the Garnet star finished in second place (1st among college athletes) in the 110 meter hurdles and fifth in the 400 meter hurdles to lead the Swarthmore women's track & field team at the Moravian Greyhound Invitational on Sunday.
Despite battling windy conditions, Givans finished the 110 hurdles in a season-best time of 15:13 and the 400 meter hurdles in a collegiate-best time of 1:05.96, which also ranks third all-time in Swarthmore history.
Along with Givans, several other members of the Garnet excelled in one of the squad's final meets before the Centennial Championships.
