LYNCHBURG, Va. – North Carolina Central University posted eight top-five performances with two meet record victories at the Brant Tolsma Invitational, hosted by Liberty University on Friday and Saturday in Lynchburg, Virginia.

NCCU senior Micah Fulton tied the meet record with a personal-best distance of 12.15 meters (39-10.5) to win the women's triple jump.

Freshman Lamont Victoria, who won the men's high jump with a leap of 2.13m a week ago in his first college meet, earned another victory by clearing 2.15m (7-0.5) to break the meet record. The height ties last year's MEAC champion Marvin Jones for the second-best high jump during NCCU's Division I era, trailing only another MEAC champion Willie Calvin's 2.16m in 2012.

Runner-up performances were achieved by freshman Laila Jackson in the women's 800m run (2:15.49) and senior Donnell Carter in the men's 400m dash (48.26).

Among NCCU's other top efforts, junior Joidon Boddie placed third in the women's triple jump (12.02m), sophomore Victoria Swepson finished fourth in the women's 1000m run (2:57.49), and freshmen Tia Lucas and Amaya Millner tied for fifth in the women's high jump (1.57m).

The Eagles return to action on Feb. 5 at the Richard Drake Invitational, hosted by Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach.
