East Carolina was very successful as host of the Bill Carson Invitational last weekend.

"We will see some great competition this weekend from ACC schools," Kraft added. "These next three meets will all be against ACC and SEC competition. This is the type of competition we need to prepare for to be successful at the American Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships."
