RALEIGH, N.C. — The Meredith College Track & Field team stepped onto a big stage this weekend, competing at the prestigious Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State University. Facing a deep field of collegiate talent from across the country, the Avenging Angels delivered a series of strong performances and valuable experience against elite competition.

On the track, Meredith was led by a standout performance in the women's 400 meters. Sophomore Abigail Clayton broke the one-minute barrier, clocking a season-best 59.85 to lead the Angels and finish 114th overall. Junior Abrianna Casarez followed with a solid effort of 1:01.00.

In the distance events, junior Delaney Bundy represented Meredith in the women's 5000 meters, posting a time of 18:19.14. Bundy's effort came against one of the deepest distance fields of the season and builds on her strong indoor campaign as she transitions into the outdoor schedule.

The throws group also made its presence known. Junior Athena Mowatt led Meredith in the shot put with a top mark of 10.39 meters (34' 1.25"), showing consistency across her series. In the hammer throw, sophomore Bryanna Herring turned in a strong mark of 43.90 meters (144' 0").

Competing at a meet of this caliber provides invaluable experience for the Avenging Angels, as they continue to sharpen their performances against top-tier competition. Meredith will look to build on this weekend's results as the outdoor season progresses, with eyes set on continued improvement and championship readiness.

The Angels return to action on April 2^nd and 3^rd at the VertKlasse Meeting hosted by High Point University.
