LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Charlotte Track & Field team came close to sending another athlete to Nationals on the second day of NCAA East Prelims at the University of Kentucky's Outdoor Track & Field Complex on Friday.
Sophomore Keon Howe was the highlight on the day for the 49ers, setting a new school record in the men's pole vault. Looking to earn a trip to Eugene, Oregon for NCAA National Championships, Howe brought his A-game and cleared 5.15 meters (16'10.75") to place 18th in the field of 48. The jump surpasses the previous program-best of 5.
