BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Embry-Riddle men's track and field team had a contingent of student-athletes compete at the KMS Invitational, hosted by Troy University, on Sunday, and the Eagles saw several personal records and one school record set at the Birmingham Crossplex Arena.
For the second time in as many meets,
Brodie Lubelski broke the school record in the shot put, winning the event with a throw of 17.86m, more than eight feet further than the second-place finisher. Lubelski, who last week won the ERAU Indoor/Outdoor Challenge by posting a 16.79m mark in the shot put, bettered that mark by more than three feet on Sunday. Lubelski's 17.86m toss would rank fourth in NCAA II competition thus far this season.
