"The weather conditions here today really resembled what we're going to see in Tallahassee next week, so this was a great prep meet for us as we head into the ACC Championships," said Cowper. "We saw impressive marks across the field events and impressive marks on the track. We've got kids really rounded into form, so I'm excited to see what we can do next week."

The Cards return to action next weekend when they travel to Tallahassee, Fla. to compete at the ACC Outdoor Championships. Competition is set for Thursday, May 14 through Saturday, May 16.
