Raggs Posts Runner-Up Finish At UAB Spring Invite

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Junior Ariel Raggs turned in a runner-up finish in the 400m Hurdles, while senior Ceylani Rembert grabbed a fourth-place finish in the 400m Dash, to highlight action for the Mercer track & field team on final-day action at the UAB Spring Invite on Saturday.

It was the second top-5 finish of the season in the 400m Hurdles for Raggs who also registered a fifth-place finish in the discipline at the Georgia Tech-hosted Yellow Jacket Invite on March 16. Rembert was less than a second off of her previous personal-best time in the 400m Dash, while also out-pacing 15 other student-athletes in the event.

Melissa Ubani established a new personal best time of 12.72 seconds on the way to a 14^th place finish in the 100m Dash, while fellow freshman Kendyl Maddox logged a top-15 showing in the 400m Dash as well.

The Orange & Black will resume its regular season schedule, April 5-6, when the Bears divide to conquer both the South Florida Invitational in Tampa, Fla., as well as the Lee-hosted Flames Invitational in Cleveland, Tenn.
