EDINBORO, Pa. – Another year, another top four finish for East Stroudsburg University's men's program at the PSAC Indoor Track & Field Championships.

Senior Christian Castro claimed a conference title in the 60-meter hurdles as part of three individual top-five performances, and sophomore Austin Horner set a new ESU record while finishing as the runner-up in the heptathlon, leading the Warriors to a third-place finish in the team standings with a final total of 70 points.

Junior Khai Samuels added a second-place effort in the 800m for ESU, which has cracked the top four in each of the last 12 indoor conference meets. The Warriors ended the weekend with nine top-five efforts, including five on Sunday.

Castro accounted for three of those performances. His afternoon began with his first-career PSAC title in the 60m hurdles, as his time of 8.19 beat out Shippensburg's Ori Rinaman by 0.03. ESU has now won the 60m hurdles in three of the past four seasons, as Steve Morgan finished first in both 2015 and 2017.

Next up for Castro was a fifth place showing in the 60m dash final. His time of 6.99 was one-hundredth of a second off the school record shared by himself and junior Pat Monahan. Castro closed out the afternoon with a third place result in the 200m (22.21). His previous top individual performance at PSAC's entering the weekend was fifth place in the 110m hurdles outdoors last spring.

Horner headed into the afternoon in second place in the heptathlon, and he held on to that spot after posting PR's in all three competitions which were contested on Sunday. Horner was second in the 60m hurdles (8.66), tied for fourth in the pole vault (12-3 1/2) and first in the 1000m (2:45.02). He totaled 4,926 points overall, a figure which is 60 points ahead of the previous school record established by Dan Johnson in 2012, and over 250 points ahead of the NCAA DII provisional standard of 4,671.

Slippery Rock's Steven Girgash edged out Horner for first place with 4,969 points. ESU freshman Garth Estadt was out of the scoring places, but his final total of 4,124 points is ranked No. 7 in program history.

Samuels entered Sunday as the defending PSAC champion in the 800m, and he nearly added another title this afternoon after posting a season-best time of 1:54.89. That mark was 0.29 ahead of IUP's Derek Noll in third place, and it was less than a second back of Shippensburg's Austin Padmore (1:54.03) in first.

Five other Warriors posted top eight performances on Day 2, including two during the first contested event on the track. Sophomore Mike Sheptuk placed sixth in the mile with a season-best time of 4:20.12, and sophomore Matt Lloyd snuck into the top eight after completing the race in a season-best 4:24.90.

Junior Pat Monahan added an additional point for ESU in the 60m dash, as he took eighth place with a time of 7.08.

Freshman Dominic Walton and sophomore Noah Lockwood accounted for ESU's four points in the field events on Sunday. Walton placed sixth in the shot put (49-7 3/4), while Lockwood followed in eighth (47-6 1/4).

Shippensburg won its eighth-straight men's indoor title with a total of 187 points, while Slippery Rock took second place with 123 points.

Castro (60m hurdles, 200m) and Horner (heptathlon) have reached DII provisional standards, with NCAA Championship entries to be announced in the coming days. This year's national meet takes place in Pittsburg, KS, on March 9-10. ESU's outdoor season, meanwhile, is set to begin on March 15-17 at Division I Charlotte.
