Track and Field sets sights on Electric City Invite

LEXINGTON, Va. – After a week away from competition, the VMI track and field teams are refreshed to compete this weekend at the Electric City Invitational hosted by Anderson University Friday and Saturday in Anderson, South Carolina.
 
The meet marks the second year in a row the Keydets head to Anderson to compete at the event as the Keydets look to ride the momentum from their strong performance two weeks ago at the Big South/SoCon Challenge.

Two weeks ago in Asheville, Cameron Thomas broke his own school record in the pole vault with a first-place height of 5.11 meters (16' 9.25"), topping his previous best of 16' 8.75" set in 2025.
 
Freshman Deonte Harris came in second in the triple jump with a distance of 14.55 meters, and Zachary Denton performed well in the long jump with a third-place mark of 7.00 meters.
 
On the women's side, sophomore Naturale Faison highlighted the meet as she claimed the individual title in both the 100m dash and 200m dash with personal-record times. She earned a new PR of 11.85 seconds in the 100m and a new PR of 24.44 seconds in the 200m en route to SoCon Women's Track Athlete of the Week honors.
 
VMI Director of Track and Field Zack Scott
"Our men are excited for the opportunity to compete this weekend. We expect them to attack the meet with confidence, continue sharpening their performances and take another step forward as a group. This is an important weekend to compete hard, stay focused on the details, and represent VMI with toughness, discipline and pride.

"This meet is another important opportunity for our women's team to challenge themselves, continue building momentum, and compete with confidence as we move deeper into the outdoor season. We want them to trust their preparation, support one another, and represent VMI with pride, toughness and discipline."
