CONWAY, S.C. – While Melissa Jefferson and Mekenze Kelley were representing Coastal Carolina track & field at the U.S. National Championship Meet this summer, rising sophomore Zayna Fray-Samuel was representing the Teal and Bronze in Canada.
Â
Competing in the U20-SR 2022 Bell Canadian Track & Field Championships in June, the Toronto, Ontario, Canada native, finished second overall in the women's hammer throw (U20) with a mark of 52.01 meters on her fifth attempt.
Â
Her mark of 52.01 meters just missed the standard of 57.00 meters to qualify for team Canada and compete at the 2022 World Athletics U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia.
Â
Fray-Samuel took one more attempt to make the U20 Canada Team but narrowly missed out, throwing a new personal-best mark of 55.24 meters to take first place overall in the women's hammer throw at the York University Twilight #5 meet in July.
