Ferguson, a junior at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, placed second at the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Cross-Country Championships, hosted by Rhodes College on November 8 and was selected to the All-Conference team.

The following weekend, the Bermudian biology major was fourth at the NCAA Division III Southeast Regional Championship meet and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Cross-Country Championships, held this past weekend in Boston.

Ferguson placed 74th out of 184 runners.

Ferguson, who attended Blair Academy in New Jersey for two years while she finished high school, was third earlier this year in the Bermuda national cross-country championships behind Jennifer Fisher and Jane Christie.

She was also fourth among women in the 7.1-mile Princess to Princess race.

SAILING SLG Competition was once again keen during the Bermuda International Optimist Dinghy Fall Racing Series on Sunday.

In the blue fleet, Alex Lines won two races and Erin Carvalho, A.J. Black and Ed Thompson one each. But consistency rewarded Zan Kirkland, who edged Lines by one point with four second-place finishes.

In the yellow fleet, Jonathan Kempe had four first place finishes. Jesse Kirkland, James Doughty and Hamish Burns followed.

Heading into Sunday's final races of the series, positions in both fleets are up for grabs. The tightest battle looms in the yellow fleet where just four points separate Kempe and Kirkland after 31 races.
