Tierra Frasier Named SEC Freshman of the Week
Frasier ran in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4X100-meter relay for the Gamecocks at Weems Baskin
COLUMBIA—Tierra Frasier earned SEC weekly honors for her performances at the Weems Baskin Invitational last weekend, the conference office announced on Tuesday.
Frasier was named the SEC Women’s Freshman of the Year after running in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4X100-meter relay for the Gamecocks.
The Rock Hill native ran a time of 23.47w in the 200 meters to finish second behind only Melissa Jefferson who is the reigning indoor 60-meter national champion. Frasier’s 200-meter time puts her at No. 18 in the NCAA, ninth in the East Region and seventh in the SEC. She is also the third-fastest SEC freshman at 200 meters in the SEC.
Frasier also contributed to the Gamecocks’ 4X100-meter relay team, which was victorious with a time of 43.83. That squad ranks seventh-best in the country and third in both the East Region and SEC.
The true freshman also ran the 100 meters and took fourth with a time of 11.62w. That time puts Frasier in a tie for 62nd in the NCAA, tied for 37th in the East Region and 12th in the SEC.
Frasier and the Gamecocks return to action on Friday and Saturday at the Florida Relays in Gainesville, Florida.
