The Eastern Mennonite track athletes were in Lynchburg Saturday for the Liberty Open Invitational. <\/p>\n

Although the top finishes were dominated by D-I athletes, there were more D-III schools at this meet than last weekend’s meet hosted by the University of Maryland, giving the Royals a better chance to gauge their competition.<\/p>\n

\n\"Michael
\nEMU junior Michael Allen was the top D-III finisher in the long jump.
