Records Keep Falling for RU Track & Field
Cleveland, TN - Reinhardt Track & Field is coming up on the end of the season meets. The records still keep dropping week-to-week with the goals of hitting their peaks at the AAC Championships and qualifying for NAIA Nationals. This past weekend, the team was competing at the Lee University Fast Break Invitational. Several athletes improved their times and distances with either season-best or personal-best.
