RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State track and field team will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., for the Carolina Relays Friday and Saturday. The Pack recently wrapped up indoor season with top-20 NCAA finishes. The team will make its outdoor debuts with representation from most of its event groups.
The meet marks the first time the Pack will have a chance to earn ACC Outdoor and NCAA East Preliminary qualifying marks.
Quick Transition:
Just a week after finishing with All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Joshua Davis and Nicole Chavis are back in action. Both will compete in the discus, while Davis will throw the hammer and Chavis the shot put.
Season Debuts:
Both Isabella Smith and Bethany Neeley will make their 2016 debuts in uniform for the Pack. Smith will compete in the 800m and Neeley will run in the 2,000m steeplechase. Neeley ran unthatched during the indoor season.
Last Outdoor Season:
The team qualified 16 for Regionals and eight for the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season. Addison led the way for the men's program, finishing fourth at NCAAs, winning ACC Men's Field Athlete of the Year and the ACC Men's Scholar Athlete of the Year Award. Graham Crawford earned Second-Team All-America honors and Jacob Tompson also qualified in the 5,000m for the Pack on the men's side. The women's team sent five to the NCAA Outdoor Championships including seniors Joanna Thompson, Kenyetta Iyevbele and Tremanisha Taylor along with juniors Alexis Perry and Erika Kemp.
Last Time Out:
NC State earned eight All-America honors and finished with its highest team finish for both the men's and women's teams since 1991. Five out of the Pack's six athletes scored points for the team. The group was led by Jonathan Addison's second-place finish in the long jump. Nicole Chavis(WT), Erika Kemp(5k), Megan Moye(Mile) and Luis Vargas(3k & 5k) earned First-Team All-America honors with top-seven finishes in their respective events.
