Freshman sprinter Vernetta Gosier of the Saint Peter’s women’s track and field team has been named Female Student-Athlete of the Month for February.
 
Gosier competed in two meets in February and had several tremendous performances. At the Monmouth Collegiate Invite, Gosier earned a top-five placement in the 60-meter dash which consisted of 30 competitors. Her time of 8.01 seconds was among the top-15 best times for the event in the MAAC this year. But that was just a prelude for what was to come at the MAAC Championships at The Armory. Gosier won the 60 meters with a time of 7.80 seconds. In the preliminary round though, she was a split second faster at 7.79, which was the second-best time for the event in the MAAC for the indoor season. Gosier also took a third-place finish in the 200-meter dash by clocking in at 25.28 seconds, which ties her for the fourth-best time in the MAAC for the season. To top it all off, Gosier was a recipient of the Indoor Track Rookie of the Meet Award for her performance.
