The NC State men's track and field squad will compete at the Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill, N.C. this weekend. The meet is a two-day event spanning Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday Feb. 2. The meet marks the fifth of the season for the Wolfpack.
Fifteen student-athletes will make the trip to UNC for the meet, including eight that rank among the top-10 performers in the ACC.
Reggie Reese and Jason Jones lead the way with top-10 marks in two different events. Reese is fifth in the 60 meters with a time of 6.87, and seventh in the 200 meters with a 22.05. Jones is fourth in the shot put with a mark of 55'08.25" and fifth in the weight throw at 54'08.00". Jones is the only ACC athlete to rank in the top-5 in both categories.
A'Tolani Akinkuotu, the school record holder in the 60 meter dash, is fourth in the ACC in that event this season with a 6.77. He is the only sprinter in school history to run a time sub-6.80.
Brandon Bias is 10th in the 60 meter hurdles with a mark of 8.68.
Dexter Adams, the 2006 ACC indoor and 2007 ACC outdoor long jump champion, is second in the same event this season with a 24'05.50", just off of a provisional mark.
Travis Weston is 10th in the triple jump with a mark of 46'01.25".
Adam Gray (50'03.25") and Kent Dickens (48'00.00") are 7th and 8th, respectively, in the weight throw.
