New year, new season, new faces. Underway with the 2019-2020 indoor track and field season, our new "Getting To Know U" series highlights the new track and field athletes who have joined the program this year. In this edition,
Oneillia Fuller receives the spotlight as a junior transfer from Savannah State University where she competed as a two-sport athlete (volleyball and track & field). At SSU, Fuller finished 10th overall in the 400m at the MEAC Outdoor Championships and seventh at the indoor championships. She's posted 12 top-five finishes in her career, finishing first five times, tallied her collegiate best in the outdoor 400m at the Gamecock Invite with a time of 55.12 and earned a new PR in the indoor 400m this past weekend at the Texas Tech Invite with a mark of 56.67.Â
Hailing from Villa Rica, Ga., Oneillia is the daugher of Marcia and Oneil Fuller and is pursing a major in nursing.Â
