ATLANTA, Ga. – Samford track wrapped up its last competition of the season before NCAA Regionals by sending a handful of athletes to Atlanta for the Georgia Tech Invite.  Fighting through scattered rainstorms, multiple Bulldogs improved their regional standings in hopes of earning a postseason bid.
