FORT WORTH, Texas - Darryl Anderson has announced the additions of Chaniqua Corinealdi, Teneshia Peart and Rose Tanui to the track and field program.
"Anytime you can bring in this type of talent, it will definitely be good for our program," said Anderson. "We have two really high-level kids in Teneshia Peart and Rose Tanui that will be able to help us right away, while Chaniqua Corinealdi will be a really big part of our program at some point this season. We are going to take our time with her and help her adjust to college life since she graduated early from high school."
Corinealdi, who graduated early from Shoemaker High School in Killeen, will compete for the Flyin' Frogs after earning runner-up honors in the 200 meters at the Texas State 5A meet as a junior. She has posted personal-best times of 7.63 seconds in the 60, 11.84 seconds in the 100 and 23.84 seconds in the 200 meters.
Peart will look to continue her domination on the track in 2010 after capturing the Junior College National Championship in the women's 60 and 200 meters at Florissant Valley Community College in Florissant, Mo. The Canada product has posted personal-best times of 7.41 seconds in the 60, 11.61 seconds in the 100 and 23.87 in the 200 meters.
Tanui comes to TCU from Central Arizona College where she claimed the Junior College National Championship in cross country in 2008 before earning runner-up honors this past fall to lead the Vaqueras to the NJCAA Cross Country National Championship. Tanui, who hails from Burt Forest, Kenya, also claimed national championship accolades in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at Central Arizona in 2009. She has posted personal-best times of 16:54.04 in the 5,000 and 34:34.61 in the 10,000.
TCU will continue its 2010 indoor season this Saturday at the Texas A&M Invitational in College Station.
