GREENSBORO, North Carolina  -- The Hampton University Women’s Track and Field team won the 2014 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Outdoor Track and Field Championship at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University. 

Hampton tallied 154.5 points to win their third straight, 11^th overall MEAC Women’s Outdoor title. Florida A&M finished in second place with 115 points, while Norfolk State finished third with 79 points.

Norfolk State’s Kiara Howell tallied 22 points to earn the Outstanding Field Athlete award, while Hampton’s Ce’aira Brown posted 22.5 points and was named the Outstanding Runner.

Howell placed second in the discus, javelin and third in the shot put to pick up 22 points. Brown won the 800m and 1,500m and was a member of the 4x400 relay team.

Hampton’s Maurice Pierce was selected the Women’s Track and Field Outstanding Coach for the ninth time in his career.

“We started off slow and made some mistakes on Thursday and Friday,” Pierce said. “I know the type of team we have and the talent level we have. We are a championship team and at the end of the day, we’ll show up and represent as true champions and get it done. It was a total team effort.”

Bethune-Cookman’s Tristie Johnson set a new MEAC record in the 100m dash, with a time of 11.29. Johnson broke the 2010 mark set by Hampton’s Patrice Richards (11.40).
