Track & Field Set for Pair of Meets this Weekend

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-The outdoor season will get fully underway for Campbell this weekend, as the Camels' track and field squads head to the Raleigh Relays and the Asics Winthrop Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

Camel distance runners will be the sole representatives at the Raleigh Relays, hosted by North Carolina State at the Paul Derr Track & Field Stadium on Friday and Saturday. Campbell is scheduled to compete in the 10000, 5000 and 1500 meter events.

Campbell's harriers kicked off the outdoor season last weekend with senior Verrelle Wyatt notching a fourth place finish in the men's 3000 meters, leading the Camels' efforts at the Wake Forest Open inside Kentner Stadium. Wyatt's time of 8:36.15 earned the Copley, Ohio a personal record in the event, one of 13 individual bests on the day.

Wyatt, again, led the way for the Camels in the 1500 meters. The senior notched the event's 12th best time, while taking the second best mark in his section, logging a 4:00.02 for another personal best.

Freshman Rachel Deline legged out a 10:39.97 for ninth place finish in the 3000 meter race, the squad's lone top-10 qualifier of the day. In the 1500 meter portion, Deline led the way again, finishing with a mark of 4:51.79, taking the third best time in her section and 23rd overall. Deline was just one of 42 in the competition's 103 to finish with a sub-5:00.00 time.

The rest of the team, meanwhile, will take part in the Winthrop Invitational, competing in various events at the Belk Track Complex in Rock Hill, S.C. beginning on Friday before wrapping up one day later.

Campbell posted a successful showing at last season's Winthrop meet, grabbing one individual crown, one of six top-three finishes on the day for the Camels. Former Camel Sam Tilly also qualified for NCAA Regional competition at the event with his 7.38m/24'02.50" in the high jump last season.

Campbell will split squads again next weekend, heading to the Duke Invitational and the Liberty Collegiate Invitational on Friday, April 3.
