The freshman posted a mark of 18-5.25 in the long jump on Saturday and then came back with an NCAA regional qualifying mark of 41-7.75 in the triple jump on Sunday. Nambawa also placed sixth in the 400-meters in 56.11 on Saturday.
The Kampala, Uganda, native was the second leg of the school record setting 4x400-meter relay, which posted an NCAA qualifying time of 3:38.12 in placing third.
