LYNCHBURG, Va. (February 9, 2019) – The North Carolina A&T men’s and women’s indoor track and field athletes had a productive day Saturday.

It was an especially extraordinary day for junior Tori Ray who was a part of two victories on Saturday. Ray won the 400-meter dash by running a meet record 54.58.
