DURHAM, N.C. - Coastal's mid-distance stars led the way during the second day of competition in the Duke Invitational at Duke University's Morris Williams Stadium, as Aynslee van Graan won the women's 1500-meter dash with a time of 4:22.65.

Van Graan, a redshirt sophomore, continues to have a historic season for the Chants.

Her winning performance at Duke comes on the heels of being named Big South Conference Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week on March 30, just days after she broke the Coastal Carolina University school record in the women's 1,500-meter with a time of 4:22.11.

The Chants had two more top-10 finishers at the Duke Invitational, with Brinson Corn (4.36m, 14-3.50) placing sixth and Alex Botello (4.36m, 14-3.50) taking eighth in the men's pole vault.

In other action, Malcolm Simmons finished 15th in the men's 400-meter dash, crossing the finish line at 50.47.
