NEWARK, Del. – Senior Emily Carothers and freshman Lauren Ventrella both won two events and the men's team won eight events overall as East Stroudsburg University swept the men's and women's College division titles at the Thomson Invitational at the University of Delaware on Saturday.

The Warriors also had two athletes compete at the Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Senior Paul Wagner had a mark of 60-10 in the men's weight throw, while senior Amanda Sines threw 44-8 1/4 in the women's event.

At the Thomson Invitational, Carothers won the shot put (38-3 1/2) and the weight throw (46-11 3/4) and Ventrella sprinted to titles in the 60m hurdles (9.10 seconds) and 200m dash (26.62) as the Warriors' women's team won six events overall.

Carito also anchored the 4x400m relay team which finished second (4:07.78), with Ventrella, Johnson and sophomore Adrienne Dieter running the first three legs. Freshman Lauren Hannan was second in the long jump at 16-5 1/4.

On the men's side, victories from seven individuals and the 4x800m relay team gave the Warriors a commanding 179.5 points to easily outpace Lincoln (74), Salisbury (73) and Rowan (66) in the 13-school field.
