ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville track & field teams will resume their outdoor season this weekend when they compete at the Montreat Invitational. The first event of the two-day Invitational is scheduled to get underway at 9 a.m. Friday.
Last Time Out – The last time the Bulldogs competed in a meet was back on March 13 at Winthrop. On the day, Asheville won 13 events and broke two outdoor school records.
More Awards in Asheville – Following the meet at Winthrop, the Bulldogs had some student-athletes receive recognition for their performances. Claudia Prieto earned her second Big South Female Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week of the season. On the same day, Asheville's 4x100-meter relay team of Akin Williams, Jalen Anderson, Alex Williams, and Isaac Teasley were named the league's Track Athletes of the Week.
Note from Coach - We are looking forward to seeing what we can do with another two weeks of training behind us," said Head Coach Joel Williams. "We are also getting a few people back from injury this weekend."
