East Carolina University track and field took a few steps forward last weekend at the Penn State Invitational, winning three events and setting two new school records.
Junior Bria Smith totaled 3,587 points to break the school record for the Pentathlon. This mark puts her second in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) and 30th in the country. Senior Nick Ciaccia ran a 14:22:67 5000-meter race to break the school record putting him at No. 1 in the AAC and 22nd nationally. Ciaccia said breaking the school record was something he set as a personal goal two years ago.
