Raleigh, N.C. (May 20) - The NC State track and field team was quite busy this past week, as the Pack participated in two separate meets in a matter of three days. On May 18, some of the Pack went down to Knoxville, Tenn., to participate in the Gatorade Twilight Classic, while this past weekend the rest of NC State's track squad competed in the Reebok Invitational which was hosted by Georgia Tech.
For the second week in a row, senior Brendan Rodgers recorded a NCAA Provisional time in the 1,500 meters. At the Reebok Invitational, Rodgers ran a season-best 3:43.78 in the 1,500 meters and brought home a third place finish.
At the Gatorade Twilight Classic, two Pack members recorded impressive results. Zack Whitlow posted the highest NC State mark in the pole vault this season, by registering a mark of 16'05.50" for an eight place finish. Also, Tyrone Dozier took fifth in the 400 meters with a time of 47.14.
NC State will next participate in the NCAA Championships, which are being held at Duke University May 31-June 3.
