There is a dynasty in the making at Appalachian State University,
or maybe the dynasty is already running at full steam.
Appalachian State competed in both the Men’s
and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships, held in
Boone April 18 and 19, at which both teams placed first. The first
place finishes brought triple crowns for the men’s and women’s
teams.
