Merriweather and Veselinovic Break School Records to Highlight Day 1

GREENVILLE, N.C. -- Two new school records highlighted Day 1 of the Bill Carson Invitational, hosted by ECU, for the Charlotte men's and women's track and field teams in Greenville, N.C.

Junior Victoria Merriweather and freshman Stevan Veselinovic both chiseled their names into the Charlotte record books, each breaking the hammer throw top mark.

Merriweather broke her own record in the hammer throw, registering a mark of 56.70m for a second-place finish. Merriweather began the 2016 outdoor campaign setting the record at the 49er Classic at 56.48m, before topping that today with her record-breaking hurl on her third of five attempts.
