WINSTON-SALEM – The men's 4x400 meter relay team brought home a school record and a third-place finish, while Malea Bennewitz took top-five finishes in a pair of events to highlight final-day action Monday at the Conference Carolinas Indoor Championships at the JDL Fast Track.

The men's team finished with 56.5 points to take fifth, while the women's squad tied for the seventh with 28 points.

The 4x400 meter relay team of John Davis, Mekhi Hayes, Calen McKinney, and Jacobe Jones crossed in 3:20.00 to take third, while Eli Pineda ran a personal-best 8.32 to finish fourth in the 60 meter hurdles, while Jaiden Hannah posted a personal-best mark of 1.90 meters in the high jump to take fourth to round out Monday's top-five finishers.

On the women's side, Bennewitz ran a personal-best 5:20.82 in the one mile to take fourth, and a personal-best 2:26.16 to finish fifth in the 800 meter. Kyleigh Pollock posted a personal-best mark of 10.72 meters to place fifth in the triple jump, while the 4x400 meter relay team of Ta'Niyah Glaspie, Janaya Davis-Gainer, Malea Bennewitz, and Amaya Spence also took fifth with a time of 4:06.85.

All told, the two squads combined to establish 40 new personal bests at the two-day event.
