While the majority of the student body was away enjoying spring break, the NC State track and field team was putting work in at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Held on Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the meet featured a successful showing from the Wolfpack, which brought home two All-American Honors.
The team won awards in distance, long jump and weight throw. The women’s distance medley relay team (DMR), comprised of redshirt junior Megan Moye, sophomore Tiana Patillo, redshirt senior Kenyetta Iyevbele, and redshirt junior Samantha George, each earned the first All-American Honors award. The DMR team broke the school record for the third time in the indoor season and placed sixth in the relay with a mark of 11:10.41.
Redshirt junior Nicole Chavis earned the second All-American Honors award in her weight throw for the second year in a row. Both awards helped carry the team to a five-way tie for 13th place.
In long jump, senior Jonathan Addison won 14th place in the men’s while junior Alexis Perry won 15th in the women’s long jump.
The competition continues next Saturday; however, all of the events for the Wolfpack are over in the national competition. The Wolfpack will begin the outdoor season on March 20 at the Carolina Relays held in Chapel Hill.
