The East Carolina University Track and Field program had a strong showing to open up the season at the Dick Taylor Carolina Cup and the Pirates are looking to take this momentum to Blacksburg, Virginia for the Hokie Invitational.
Sophomore pole vaulter Sommer Knight recorded a school-record mark in her event this weekend. Knight put up a mark of 4.00 meters to take second place. Knight is currently tied for the conference lead with Rebekah Markel from Tulane and hopes to continue to improve from meet to meet.
Coming into this meet, the Pirates will compete against freshman phenom Jacory Patterson.
