TRACK AND FIELD

After tremendous success in the Atlantic 10 Conference, Charlotte’s readjustment back into Conference USA has been both challenging and rewarding . The 49ers enter their third season in C-USA and the squads have in-creased their level of competition, going against talented and deep squads such as UTEP, Rice, Middle Tennes-see, and Western Kentucky . The men and women both finished 6th at the indoor conference championships . The women were 4th in outdoor while the men finished 8th at the 2015 championships .

The Niners return a trio of All-Americans in seniors Anthony Campbell, Trey McRae, and K’Vonte Scott to anchor the men’s fleet. Campbell garnered second team honors at the NCAA Championships in the triple jump with a 15th-place finish. McRae earned second team status in both the long and high jump placing 10th and 12th . Scott took second team honors after finishing11th in the decathalon .

On the distance events, indoor school record holder (600m, 1,000m, and 4x800m) relay) Michael Tamayo returns for his final season (outdoor), after a stellar cross country campaign where he and teammate, Daniel Beamer, each earned All-Conference USA Third Team honors with their performances at the C-USA Champion-ships in late October .

The 49ers expect big things in the jumping events from redshirt junior Jaylon Holt, a transfer from South Ala-bama who sat out last year . In his few Charlotte meets thus far, Holt has already recorded three Top-10 performances in jumping events.

The men’s team sports a roster of 49 athletes, with 18 newcomers, including James Myers, who transfers in

from Mars Hill after earning USTFCCCA All-Region honors in the 100m last season .

The women will look to veterans Lauren Gulley, Alvon-na Blakney, and Marissa Pinckney among others to lead the squad . Gulley will only have indoor eligibility re-maining, but is coming off a third place finish in the high jump at the outdoor C-USA Championships, and ranks second in 49ers history in the event . Blakney claimed the C-USA title in the 100m hurdles during the 2015 outdoor season, and advanced to the NCAA East Preliminaries in the event for the second straight year. Pinckney, a junior specialzing in sprints, competes in multiple events, but has become a staple in the women’s 4x400m relay.

Victoria Merriweather will be relied on in the throwing events after competing in the NCAA East Preliminaries in the hammer throw last spring . She finished third in the event at the C-USA Outdoor Championships, and also placed third in the weight throw at the 2015 C-USA Championships last season . Merriweather has already broken the school record this season in the weight throw . Senior Taylor Carcella has delivered stellar performanc-es in the distance events during her four years . Carcella broke the school record in the 1,000m earlier this season .

The women’s roster supports 43 athletes, with 17 newcomers .

2015-16 scheduleThe Charlotte men’s and women’s track and field programs face challenging schedules for the 2015-16 indoor and outdoor seasons .

“I’m excited about this year’s schedule,” Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Robert Olesen said. “It features meets that provide opportunities for everyone on the roster . There are competitions that will see us traveling seventy or more men and women, as well as ones that will focus on smaller groups of our more elite performers . I feel that the schedule is well suited to enable us to develop the student-athletes for the best possible conference results and to advance our best to regional and national levels. “

The 49ers will begin competition with two small meets before the Virginia Tech Inivitational . Charlotte has generally been very successful in Blacksburg at the Rector FIeld House .

Next, Charlotte will travel north for conference foe Marshall’s Thundering Herd Open in the brand new indoor athletic facility in Huntington, W .Va . on Jan . 29-30 . The 49ers will spend the first weekends of February southbound, competit-ing in the Buccaneer Invitational (hosted by East Tennessee State University) in Johnson City, Tenn ., on Feb . 5-6, and then the Samford Invitational in Birmingham, Ala .The Niners will return to Winston-Salem once more in the season, participating in the UCS Invitational (JDL) on Feb . 20, before returning to Birmingham for the Conference USA Championships on Feb . 24-25, and the NCAA Championships on March 11-12 .

Two home meets highlight the outdoor slate for the squads, who begin the outdoor campaign with the 49er Classic on March 17-19, and will also host the Charlotte Invitational on April 15-16 . Both events will be held at the Irwin Belk Track located on campus .

“Our home competitions will be similar to seasons past, with the large 49er Classic- featuring as many as 40 schools and 1500 athletes . On the other end of the spectrum we will have the Charlotte Invitational, with eight teams and a more focused conference prep approach,” Olesen said.

After the 49er classic, Charlotte travels to Raleigh, N .C ., for the Raleigh Relays (hosted by NC State) on March 25-26, and then will split the squad once again, traveling west for the Texas Relays in Austin, south for the Florida Relays in Gainesville, and north to the Colonial Relays (hosted by William & Mary) in Williamsburg, Va .

The Niners face a shorter trip the following weekend, heading to Greenville, N .C ., for the East Carolina Invitational on April 8-9, before returning home for the Charlotte Invitational . The squads will stay in state again the following weekend, traveling to Durham for the Duke Invitational on April 22-23 . A final weekend of double meet action approaches on the last weekend of April, with the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and the Appalachian State Invitational in Boone, N .C .

The 49ers will gear up for the Conference USA Outdoor Championships, held at first time hosts Middle Tennessee in Murfreesboro on May 12-15 . The team will next prepare for the NCAA Championships, competiting in the NCAA East Prelim-inaries in Jacksonville, Fla ., on May 26-28, and then the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore .

“It’s always nice to see some new places and our program will see meets for the first time ever at Middle Tennessee for the C-USA Outdoor Championship and Appalachian State’s outdoor venue for their invitational,” Olesen stated. “We are also revisiting some locations where no one currently on the roster would have represented us, with the Buccaneer Classic at East Tennessee and the Texas Relays at the University of Texas.”
