CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – NC State's 4x100 team of Nyheim Hines, Jonathan Addison, Shannon Patterson and Quasahwn Cunningham won the event with a meet record of 39.42 – good for the 10th-fastest time in the NCAA this season, as the NC State track and field team opened action at the Virginia Challenge Friday night.
Relays:
The men's 4x100 relay team Hines, Patterson, Addison and Cunningham made its highly anticipated debut and won the event in a speedy 39.42. The time is ranked 10th in the country, fourth in the East and second in the ACC. The relay team dominated the meet's field, winning by almost half a second.

Cunningham led the way with a wind-legal 10.33 for third. He previously ran a wind-aided 10.34 at the Raleigh Relays. Cunningham's time moves him into 21st in the nation, 11th in the East and into sole control of the ACC's second-best mark this season.
Patterson added a 10.51 PR – good for fifth. The mark was a .14 second improvement from his previous season best. Hines made his outdoor-season debut, finishing sixth in 10.54.
