UNC Track & Field Elite Meet
By Nicole Denman

Track is often considered a solitary sport, but as the Carolina Track and Field team proved this weekend, it's being part of the team that matters.

The Lady Tar Heels finished first in their first scored indoor meet of the season, defeating nine other teams.

The men placed second.

A key to this success was the performance of the relays…which epitomize the strength and determination of these individuals to work as a team.

Four individuals, running in succession, passing a thin baton that unites them.

The effort is more intense, the excitement is greater, and the exhaustion is more visible.

"It's just the team bond. I feel like when you're running on a relay team you're running for your team, not just yourself. And it's a great feeling," said senior captain Alison Lentz.

The Tar Heels look forward to seeing continued team success against 65 teams in the Blue Heaven Classic this weekend.
