CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. / ATLANTA, Ga. – The Radford track and field team competed at the Virginia Challenge hosted by the University of Virginia and the Georgia Tech Invitational Friday afternoon.

“Curtis did pick up a first place but more importantly had a very good series of throws,” said head coach Brent Chumbley. “I was very happy for Emmalane that she could PR at the last meet of the year and set the tone for next year.”
