Miranda Meeks, a senior from Princeton, Ky., makes the "B" standard for the NAIA in the 3000-meter steeplechase. Her time was 11:39.20.  She also won the 800-meter run in 2:31.23. 

"I'm really impressed with Miranda's time in the steeplechase," said head coach Joe Stockton, but that "she felt she could have pushed a little harder in the beginning of the race."  

Campbellsville University's Men's Track & Field team placed first in the 4x200-meter relay race. The team consists of Josh Naimo, a freshman from Kentwood, Mich.; Detrick Briggs, a junior from Louisville, Ky.; Zach Frazier, a freshman from Ulysses, Ky.; and Sean Thompson, a freshman from Killeen, Texas. 

"Despite being spring break for us, I think we had a good showing and would like thank those kids again for cutting their spring break early to represented Campbellsville University Track and Field," Stockton said.
