Sophomore
Saleena Abdur-Rashed won Northeastern's first 100-meter hurdles title in 10 years at the 2010 New England Outdoor Championship, helping anchor a sixth-place effort (39 points) by the Huskies' track & field team at Solomon Track in Dedham, Mass.
Nikiya Reid (2000) was the last Husky to claim the 100-mter hurdles New England crown after recording a time of 14.03. Abdur-Rashed elicited only her sixth-fastest clip of the season in 14.26 for the victory, but soggy conditions marred any chance at a personal/school record. The Bronx, N.Y. native logged the fastest preliminary mark of Friday (14.22) out of 27 other hurdles.
The Huskies finished ahead of 34 other teams while Boston College came away with the 2010 title (102 points). New Hampshire lagged closely behind with 93 points and Massachusetts captured third with a 60-point total.
