CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Wake Forest track & field programs are slated to begin their outdoor seasons, splitting groups at 49er Classic (March 17-19) hosted by Charlotte and Bob Davidson Memorial Invitational (March 18-19) hosted by High Point.
Last Time Out
The Demon Deacons left the final day of ACC Championships in historic fashion. Both sophomore Thomas Kitchell and senior Chanel Dawson earned the school record in the men's and women's shot put as they respectively placed second and third in the event. These marks, which were personal bests for both Kitchell and Dawson, earned them First Team All-ACC honors.
Wake Forest throws have been a clear strength of the program this indoor season and their continued success not only showed up in the biggest moment but also simultaneously left their footprint on track and field seasons to come. Kitchell's record breaking toss snapped a mark that had stood in Wake Forest history for 25 years. Dawson equally crushed the record standing in her way as her toss superseded the previous record by almost half a meter.
