WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Lenoir-Rhyne men's track and field team took fifth at the South Atlantic Conference Track & Field Championships this weekend.
"I'm really proud of these Bears today," said Director of Track & Field
Bob Braman. Everyone competed their guts our and we had some amazing performances. We had dozens of personal bests and conference scorers but the highlight was our five conference champions and one relay champion - all being SAC Championship meet records. We're short on numbers, not on talent. I can see this team emerging during outdoor season and we're excited to build off this success."
