After a 10-month break, the Canes are back on the track.
Last March, the team was in Albuquerque, New Mexico preparing for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships when the coronavirus pandemic ended its season.
Despite the long break, the team is looking strong. In their second indoor meet of the year, the Canes brought home two first-place finishes and displayed a talented group of young runners.
The team traveled north to Clemson, South Carolina for the weekend to compete in the Clemson Bob Pollock Invitational, where Florida State, Georgia Tech and Auburn were among the teams competing.
On the women’s side, graduate student Alfreda Steele and sophomore Jacious Sears finished one-two in the 60-meter dash prelims. The pair bested their qualifying times in the final with Steele posting a time of 7.26 and Sears 7.30. They finished second and third overall, only behind Florida State’s Jayla Kirkland (7.25).
