Ferguson returns to form after injury
Tia Ferguson won her first cross country race of the season Saturday with a time of 18 minutes, 10.4 seconds in the Hagen Stone 5K Classic at Greensboro, N.C.
A member of Duke's No. 1-ranked women's team, the sophomore from Seabury Hall delayed the start of her season until she recovered from plantar fasciitis (an inflammation of the thin fascia membrane that runs along the bottom of the foot).
Ferguson ran unattached in the meet, won easily by the Blue Devils with 18 points as their five runners that counted finished 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th.
"We were undecided whether she would compete for Duke at this point," said women's cross country coach Kevin Jermyn. "Tia is in great shape and it appears very likely she will represents us in the upcoming championships"
Ferguson was the Atlantic Coast Conference freshman of the year in 2004.
