Zariah Noyola used her jumping ability combined with speed to lead Incarnate Word's women's track and field team at the annual Cactus Cup meet in Kingsville.

In the two hurdles events the Harlingen freshman won the 400-meters in her personal best time of 1:05.23.  Earlier she won a third place in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.09.  And during all that she entered the high jump event where she finished ninth with a height of 1.58 meters or 5-02.25 feet.

The Cardinals came home with a pair of second place finishes.  Shanieve Swift hit the tape second in the 400-meters in a time of 57.86 and then went over to anchor the UIW 4x100 relay team which was second in a time of 47.77.  Her teammates in that race were Brittney Holcombe, Lauren Pratt and Stephanie Nelson.

Pratt was third in the 100-meters with a time of 12.34.

Next up for the Cardinals is the bobby Lane Classic March 23 and 24 in Arlington.
