Final Results

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Jonee Artis (Chesapeake, Va.) cleared 5 feet, seven inches in the high jump, while Shanneka Claiborne (Ettrick, Va.) finished the 100 meter dash in 11.69 as they both turned in first-place finishes for the Norfolk State women's track team at the William & Mary Colonial Relays this past weekend.

In the high jump, each of the top four finishers cleared 5-7, but Artis took gold after clearing the bar in the fewest attempts of the four, while teammate She'Anna Mitchell (Hampton, Va.) was second. Claiborne's time in the 100 meters is the 15th fastest time in the Eastern Region this season.
