Kelechi Nwanaga (javelin), Sean Watkins Jr. (400m dash), Jacore Irving (triple jump), Sukeil Foucha (800m run), Riley Bahr (3000m run) and Luke Reid (3000m run) each picked up victories in their respective events.

The Noles will have a large squad competing in their one home meet of the year with the men’s sprinters being the group to watch. The Noles had great success last week at the Hurricane Invitational with Amir Willis picking up ACC Performer of the Week honors. The Noles will be put to the test though with runners from Georgia posing as their biggest threat at the Mike Long Track.
