MILLERSVILLE, Pa.- The Juniata men's track and field team concluded the Millersville Metrics on Saturday, the second day of the event. Colson Lewis continued his strong form from the indoor season with a win in the 100 meters and third place in the 200 meters, both of which landed him in the Juniata record book.
