Track & Field concludes successful Liberty Kickoff with four more top-10 marks and 11 personal bests

COMPLETE LIBERTY KICKOFF RESULTS
 
LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Radford women's track & field program put an exclamation point on their opening meet of the indoor season as the Highlanders posted four more top-10 all-time marks and 11 additional personal records to conclude their time at the Liberty Kickoff inside the Liberty Indoor Track Complex on Friday.
 
"This is always a tough time of year to compete right after Thanksgiving and before exams and the holiday break," director of track & field Shelli Sayers said. "We are very happy with how we preformed and look forward to returning for our first meet after the break in mid-January."
 
Radford wrapped up its first indoor meet of the indoor campaign with six all-time top-10 performances and 15 personal bests as a unit overall during their two day stay on Liberty University's campus.
