GREENVILLE, N.C. (March 28, 2026)
-- The Morgan State women's track & field team continued its outdoor campaign this weekend at the Bill Carson Invitational, a two-day meet held at the Bate Foundation Track & Field Facility in Greenville.

Hosted by East Carolina University, the invitational featured a competitive field, but the Lady Bears turned in standout performances across track and field, including nine top-5 finishes.

"Our athletes performed really well over the past two days," said Head Coach Neville Hodge. "We're proud of the effort and excited to keep building on this momentum."

With the outdoor season underway, the Bears will look to build on this momentum as they set their sights on the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Outdoor Championships later this spring.
