SALISBURY – The UNC Pembroke track & field teams brought home six top-3 finishes, including second-place honors and new personal bests for Gabe Blackwelder (800m) and Trent Brown (Javelin), to highlight the action Saturday at the Blue Bear Invitational hosted by Livingstone College.

Moureen Kimaiyo was second in the 1500m, with Jade Jordan taking third place in the long jump to highlight the women's side.

On the men's side, Tyshone Bolden Jr. finished second in the long jump, while Sean Todd came in right behind Blackwelder in the 800m to take third to round out the top-3 finishers.

All told, 21 new personal bests were established at the event.
