GREENSBORO, N.C. – The ECU track and field program carried the momentum from winning its home meet a week ago into this weekend's Aggie Invitational, posting 11 event victories at Aggie Stadium on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.

Quoting Coach Kraft: "This weekend's meet was without question the best overall meet that we have had up to this point with both the men's and women's programs. We made huge improvements with both programs on our AAC performance list and the NCAA East Regional list. We just had a team meeting and I stressed to the team how important it is to stay focused, hungry and most importantly healthy. We will go back to work on Monday and get ready for the Duke invitational next weekend."
