NAPERVILLE, Ill. — A handful of student-athletes from the Carthage women's track and field team set personal bests in their events on Friday evening on day two of the Carius/Gregory Invitational. The sprints highlighted the second day, as the program record book was edited, and Grace Robinson put herself in position to compete the the NCAA National Championship meet. The Firebirds have one more meet on the regular season schedule, as they are set to compete at the Augustana Midwest Twilight on Thursday, May 19 in Rock Island, Ill.
