GREENSBORO, N.C. – Tatiana Ogundeko won the 1,500m Run and took second in the 800m Run, both in personal-record time, to lead the Coppin State women's track & field team at the Aggie Invitational hosted by North Carolina A&T on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
A junior from Suitland, Md., Ogundeko ran the 800m on Friday and clocked a 2:09.22, finishing just .61 off the winning time and outkicking runners from Elon and North Carolina A&T at the finish.
