KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Shadrack Kipkosgei and Ian Kibiwot placed first and second in the men's 3000m and the University of Louisville men's track team posted eight top-three finished while the women tallied 10 top-three finishes to wrap up the regular season at the Tennessee Challenge on Saturday.

"We were able to see some positive things this weekend from many of our underclassmen," said UofL head coach Dale Cowper. "I'm looking forward to seeing this group continue recovering from the need of the year's academic stress and fine tune our rhythm heading into the ACC Championships in two weeks."

The Cardinals will return to action May 13-15 when they travel to Raleigh, N.C. for the ACC Outdoor Championships.
