ROME, Ga. — As the NCCAA championship meet came to a close, several Lady Tigers and Tigers left it all on the track and field as six personal bests were set and two school records were shattered during the two-day meet.

"I am so proud of my athletes," said coach Hilary Lakes. "They came to compete this weekend and that is exactly what they did. Many broke their personal best and some new school records were set. Overall, it was a great meet and I am pleased with everyone's effort."

Paxton Wiley was named an NCCAA All-American from Campbellsville as he placed third in the 110-meter hurdles. Wiley covered the hurdles in 15.24 seconds. Clayton Embry finished eighth in 16.14.
