Edinoro's Kyle Wunz was the Fighting Scots’ top finisher this past weekend at the Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State. He posted sixth place finishes in the 200 meter and 400 meter dashes.

That time is the seventh best in Division II and is a NCAA provisional qualifying mark and was the top time in the PSAC so far this season.
