Emory is coming off a solid performance at the VertKlasse Meeting against mostly Division I competition with several Eagles posting season-best team marks in seven different events. Seniors Lukas Mees and Spencer Koh swept the UAA Men’s Track & Field weekly awards as Mees ran the third fastest 3000m Steeplechase time (9:18.37) in school history and the second fastest time ran recorded nationally this season. Meanwhile, Koh scored a season-best mark in the javelin throw with a distance of 49.97m.

The Eagles enter the weekend ranked among the top schools regionally in the first USTFCCCA regional rankings of the outdoor season released earlier this week. The Emory women were ranked first by a commanding margin in the first poll while the men are in the third position, trailing only Christopher-Newport and Birmingham Southern.
