After an unfortunate accident that injured former East Carolina University track runner Pol Solanellas, members of the East Carolina University track and field team and coaching staff
took their focus from the track for a minute to rally around one of their own.
Solanellas was in an accident on Feb. 12, when he was hit by two cars late at night. The accident left him in the hospital for between five and six weeks with undisclosed injuries.
ECU professor Amy McMillan started a GoFundMe page to help cover Solanellas’ expenses, as well as help him get back to his home country of Spain.
