The Emory University track & field team recorded its second team win of the outdoor season as both the men and women registered their second win of the outdoor season in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon.

After becoming the first individual indoor national champion in program history, senior Annika Urban picked up where she left off winning the 800m run with a time of 2:10.15.

On the field for the women, senior Hope Jackson showed out as she finished with two top-six performances nationally in two separate events on Saturday.
