Carroll University Athletics

Freshman sprinter Brian Smith, from Lake Bluff, IL, followed up his performances from earlier in the indoor season with a statement performance at the Karl Schlender Invitational, sweeping both of Carroll's men's sprint victories and establishing himself as one of the CCIW's top early-season performers. Smith claimed the 200m title in 22.54 and backed it up with another first-place finish in the 400m at 50.01, controlling both races with strength, pace, and clean mechanics. His marks not only topped the meet field but also set the standard for the Pioneer sprint squad.
