DURHAM, N.C.—The University of North Carolina's track and field teams wrapped up the Duke Invitational on Saturday, taking four second-place finishes in another strong day by both the men's and women's teams.

With Young's performance, she joins the all-time list for the javelin, making her debut at ninth place.
Other highlights from Saturday include Blaise Atkinson setting a personal record in the 110m hurdles, moving him up one spot to seventh on the all-time list.
The Tar Heels women's 4x400 relay team also achieved an all-time top-ten performance, finishing the race second but ranking 10th in UNC history with a time of 3:36.06.
Both the men's and women's 4x400 relay A teams secured second-place finishes.
In the men's pole vault, Paul Signorelli achieved a new personal record of 5.15m and is now tied for 8th on the all-time list.
