The LBC Track and Field Teams competed at Millersville University this weekend with over 25 Division II and III schools.  The Chargers had 7 top-ten finishes, 5 NCCAA qualifiers, and set 12 new school records.

Several of the top ten finishes came in field events as Trey Baughman placed 2^nd and Leah Bergey placed 5^th in high jump. Nathan Vigil took 5^th place in pole vault, launching over the bar at a height of 3.90 meters to claim a new season best.
