Ashleigh Taylor broke her own school record when she cleared 1.60 meters in the high jump. Micalyn Miller qualified for the WVIAC Championships in the 800-meters with a personal-best time of 2:33.15.
Lydia Powell set a new PR in the 400-meter dash, completing the race in 1:00.18.
Before shifting their attentions to the outdoor season, Concord track and field athletes will have one more opportunity to qualify for the Indoor National Championships when CU heads to the Virginia Tech Last Chance Meet on March 2.
