VIDEO: Highlights & Interviews  

LANDOVER, Md. – North Carolina Central University freshman Gordon Lewis placed in the top-5 in two events during the MEAC Indoor Track & Field Championships on Saturday, earning nine of his team's 21.5 points to finish 10th in the team standings.
 
The NCCU men's 21.5 points are the most by the Eagles at the MEAC indoor championship event since tallying 24 points in 2013.
 
Lewis, out of Fredericksburg, Virginia, finished just one spot off the medal podium in fourth place in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.75 seconds, while placing fifth in the 400m dash with a season-best time of 48.73 seconds.
 
Lewis also had a part in three team points when he joined Da'Mon Ingram, Deontae Williams and Jazire Notice in the men's 4x400m relay and finished sixth in 3:18.81.
 
In the men's high jump, sophomore Omega Smalls finished fifth with a leap of 2.01 meters (6' 7.0") and freshman Marvin Jones tied for seventh with a jump of 1.96m (6' 5.0").
 
In the men's pole vault, freshman Nicolas Anderson cleared a season-best height of 4.12m (13' 6.25") to place fifth.
 
On the women's side, NCCU junior Bethany White posted the second-fastest time in the 60m dash preliminaries with a career-best 7.44 seconds. In the 60m finals, however, she flinched at the start and did not finish the race. White battled back in the finals of the 200m dash to place seventh in 25.09 seconds.
 
Another spotlight for NCCU was the performance of freshman Bhrandi Crenshaw, who placed fifth in the high jump with a leap of 1.67m (5' 5.75") and sixth in the triple jump with a distance of 11.85m (38' 10.5") – both are season-best marks.
 
As a team, the NCCU women placed 11 with nine points.
