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."
