HIGH POINT, N.C. — High Point University Track & Field finished two days of competition in their first home outdoor meet of the season at the Bill Webb Combined Events/Bob Davidson Memorial Invitational at Vert Stadium. The Bill Webb Combined Events/Bob Davidson Memorial Invitational for the Panther men was highlighted by Deron Dudley and Chris Van Niekerk. Dudley ran a time of 10.22 seconds, which is currently the second-fastest time in the country. Dudley's time had less than 4.0mph of wind, which makes it legal for possible NCAA regional qualification. Van Niekerk broke his school record in the discus when he threw 58.66m and won the men's discus.
