HIGH POINT, N.C. – Campbell athletes turned in three school record performances and seven podium finishes Friday in the VertKlasse Meeting hosted by High Point University.
While setting school marks,

Kemboi (3:43.49),
Lawrence Kipkoech (3:47.25) and
Ronald Cheserek (3:54.79) finished 1-2-3 in the 1,500 and Kemboi's time shattered the 36-year-old school mark set by Carl Ivarsson (3:45.70) in 1982.
Allen won the women's triple jump by matching her school record distance of 13.11 meters.
Darius Prescott claimed top honors in the men's triple jump (14.34), while
