Pirates Travel Back to Mount Olive Saturday
April 14, 2023 | Track & Field
GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina track & field team travels to Mount Olive for the Trojan Relays on Saturday at the Ray McDonald Sr. Sports Complex.
Â
Originally scheduled to be a two-day meet, the competition will now take place entirely on just one day.
Â
"This is the time of the year when things should start coming together," said Director of Track & Field Curt Kraft. "Unfortunately, we had some really challenging weather last weekend, and we hope that the weather will work out this weekend. Both teams have been working extremely hard to prepare for the remaining of the outdoor season.
Â
The Pirates enter the meet following a rain-soaked outing at the Duke Invite. Despite the weather, the team still put on a good showing with Alyssa Zack moving into the top 10 in program history in the 5,000m and several other athletes earning solid PRs.
Â
"Every weekend is always a new opportunity to achieve our goals," continued Kraft. "The attitudes and the energy of both squads has been extremely good. It's really important that we continue to improve our performances, each and every weekend, so that we can see where we stand within the league."
