Track and Field finishes strong but comes up short of nationals

East Carolina’s track and field team sent 13 athletes to the NCAA East Preliminary in Lexington, Kentucky hoping to earn a spot at nationals, but no Pirates made the cut as the meet ended Saturday.

Stefano Migliorati opened the regional meet Thursday by advancing to the national quarterfinals in the 800 meter race. His time of 1:48.90 minutes set a new outdoor school record in the event. His third place finish in his heat automatically qualified him for the next round and was the fourth-fastest time of any competitor. But Migliorati couldn’t repeat his performance in the quarterfinal on Friday.
