In any sport having home field is always considered an advantage. The East Carolina University track and field team has not had this advantage at all in the 2019 season. However, ECU will host the Bill Carson Invitational tomorrow that will conclude on Saturday.
This is the Pirates sixth annual meet honoring Bill Carson who was the track and field coach at ECU for approximately 40 years. The Pirates honor his legacy by hosting this meet at home every year.
“We started this meet in 2014 and we only have one meet a year for the track team and one meet a year for the cross country team to host,” head coach Curt Kraft said.
