MOUNT OLIVE, N.C.- The Queens University of Charlotte men's track & field team closed the regular season today at the Mount Olive Final Qualifier, securing three NCAA marks and two school records.

Finally, Martin Knauer recorded another NCAA provisional mark in the shot put finishing first with a throw of 17.83 meters.
