The ECU Track and Field team came home with ten victories and two school records this past weekend, as they participated in the Blue and Silver Challenge hosted by Christopher Newport University.
"Both programs really stepped up again this past weekend," head coach Curt Kraft said. "I cannot remember the last time we had as many season and lifetime personal records in a long time as we did this weekend.
"We came away with another regional qualifier and two school records, and anytime you do that I am not sure we can ask for a whole lot more. As I have said before, we are continuing to move in the right direction in a lot of different ways, now we have to turn our focus to the Penn Relays, and do well there."
