Past Student of SALCC and St Lucian Superstar Athlete Makeba Alcide Takes First Place in SCC

Looking to defend her title from a year ago, Makeba Alcide, past student of SALCC, is in first place after day one of the Heptathlon at the 2012 Southeastern Conference Championships at Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Razorback junior finished the day with 3,455 points, just three points off the career-best pace she set at the conference meet last season.

“She competed very well today and stayed poised,” associate head coach Rolando Greene said. “She ran a solid hurdle race, had a season best in the High Jump, was right under her best in the Shot Put and ran a PR in the 200 metres. She let the door unfold and never panicked. She has a very strong second day so she is in great position going into day two. Overall, she’s competed exceedingly well and is performing like an upperclassman should.”
