HIGH POINT, N.C. – Longwood track & field put together a solid effort on the second day of the Big South Championships, with multiple team members advancing to finals and setting personal bests throughout the day.
 
Mathew Fitzner and Ayden Stewart led the charge to final rounds for the Lancers.
 
NOTABLE RESULTS:
 
Fitzner first qualified for the final in the men's triple jump, and then he posted a season-best jump of 13.78-meters to finish seventh and give the Lancer men their first two points of the meet.
 
Stewart, meanwhile, posted a season-best time of 47.89 to finish as the third-fastest qualifier in the men's 400-meter race and advance to the final.
 
After qualifying for the women's 400-meter hurdles final yesterday, Nyomi Rhodes broke the women's team 100-meter hurdles record today. She finished 10^th with a 14.40, less than two tenths of a second from qualifying for the final.
 
Jaidyn Foddrell broke the 100-meter record for the men with a 10.74 time that had him finish 11^th, just seven-hundredths of a second out of the top eight.
 
WHAT THEY SAID:
 
"We checked some more boxes, and the team is ready to finish strong tomorrow," said Longwood Director of Cross Country and Track & Field.
