WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Gordon Lewis broke the meet record in the men's 400-meter dash as one of four event wins, three runner-up performances and 14 top-10 finishes by North Carolina Central University at the 2020 Camel City Invitational on Friday and Saturday.
 
A junior out of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Lewis raced away with the top spot in the 400m dash with a record time of 48.61 seconds. Lewis also helped Donnell Carter, Malik Miles, and Jazire Notice triumph in the 4x400m relay with a time of 3:20.17, edging Troy by less than a second.
 
NCCU junior Marvin Jones matched his career-best leap to win the men's high jump with a height of 2.10 meters. In four indoor events this season, Jones has now won the high jump twice and finished second twice. Freshman Jereme Faison launched himself to victory in the men's long jump with a 7.21m mark.
 
Runner-up performances were achieved by Bhrandi Crenshaw in the women's triple jump (12.30m), Corneisha Mitchell in the women's weight throw (17.70m), and Jaelyn Blanc in the men's triple jump (14.28m).
