Ferguson, a junior, won the 110-meter hurdles (14.48) event while claiming a third place finish in the long jump (7.04m) and a fifth place finish in the triple jump (13.39m). He also helped the Hornets’ 4x100-meter relay team pick up a third place finish (41.77).

The Hornet duo and their teammates next compete Friday and Saturday at the Auburn Tiger Invitational in Auburn, Ala.
