Being a freshmen in college can seem scary to some especially when the college is in another city or state, but when Shahira Ehiemua took her first visit to the University of Texas at San Antonio, she felt right at home. In her first year, she accomplished something no other athlete had done in the UTSA program history. She was named the 2012 Southland Conference Outdoor Freshmen of the Year.
Excerpt from UTSA Roadrunners
[. . . Ehiemua led all freshmen with her team-leading 16.5 points at last weekend's Southland Outdoor Championships in San Marcos. The Missouri City native ran the lead leg of UTSA's championship 400-meter relay that clocked the second-fastest time in conference history (44.81) and it marked the second time the quartet set a school record this spring. She went on to place second in the 100m (11.71) and third in the deuce (23.91). Ehiemua qualified for both finals with personal bests in the preliminary heats.
Her efforts helped lead the Roadrunners to second place in the team standings with 139.5 points and it was the program's best finish since it successfully defended its league title in 1997. Stephen F. Austin rallied in the meet’s final event, the 1,600m relay, to win its fourth consecutive championship and the Ladyjacks' two-and-a-half-point margin of victory was the closest since UTSA edged UT Arlington by one point in 1993 . . .]
