LYNCHBURG, Va. – Sophomore Rose Mascoli and the men's 4x100m relay team ran NCAA provisional qualifying times and Mascoli set the school record in the 10,000m run as East Stroudsburg University opened the outdoor track and field season at the Dr. Jack M. Toms Invitational at Lynchburg University on Saturday.

ESU's men won five individual events and the 4x100 relay and the women won two events, Mascoli in the 10,000 and senior Lynn Mayer in the high jump. Mayer became the first five-time All-American in school history by placing second at the NCAA Division II Indoor Championships last Saturday.

Mascoli, an All-American during the cross country season, ran a time of 35:44.20 to lower the school record of 35:53.20 that was set by Georgianna Messinger in 1986. She dropped more than one minute, 45 seconds from her best time last season. Sophomore Corinne Fitzgerald also ran a top 10 time in school history and finished second in 37:58.80.

Senior Negus Graham won the 200m dash in 21.80 and ran the third leg of the 4x100 relay after finishing fifth in the 400 to earn his third career All-America honor last week.

The relay squad of senior Asher Ashfield, freshman Keith Parker-Washington, Graham and junior Ian Melhorn ran the third-fastest time in school history in 41.17 seconds, below the NCAA provisional standard of 41.35. Ashfield and Melhorn comprised half of last year's All-America relay that finished eighth at the NCAA Championships, along with Andrew McCloskey and Chris Reddick.

Ashfield won the 100m dash in 11.16 seconds and Melhorn was second behind Graham in the 200 (21.93) and fourth behind Ashfield in the 100 (11.30). Sophomore Corey Young was second in the 110m hurdles in 15.41.

Sophomore Mike Saparito, the PSAC champion in the indoor 800m run, won the 1500m in 4:04.42 and was second in the 800 in 1:55.01. Sophomore Amr Aldeen was second in the 1500 in 4:04.67.

Senior Chris Zadroga ran a personal best and the sixth-best time in school history to win the 3000m steeplechase in 9:27.56, and junior Greg Laraia won the 10,000m run in 32:27.78.

Junior Josh Hontz just missed the NCAA provisional mark of 193-7 in the javelin, placing second with a throw of 193-0, and sophomore Russell Hedrick was fourth with a mark of 184-10. Freshman James Homola was third in the pole vault at 14-5 1/4.

The 4x400m relay of freshmen Steve Walker, Kyle Tuohy, Parker-Washington and Steve Werley placed second in 3:22.79. Senior Greg Pammer, Saparito, senior Mahmoud Aldeen and Amr Aldeen were sixth in 3:25.81. Pammer was fourth (50.21) and Parker-Washington was fifth (50.39) in the open 400.

Mascoli, Fitzgerald and Mayer led the performances for the ESU women. Freshman Kelsy Rushing placed second in the 5000m in 19:53.45 and four Warriors finished third on the track – freshman Rachel Pierantozzi in the 100 (12.95), freshman Nicole Brown in the 400 (59.43), senior Brittany Knowles in the 100m hurdles (16.16) and junior Adrienne Dieter in the 400m hurdles (1:08.46).

Brown also ran on the 4x400 and 4x100 relays that finished second and fifth, respectively. Brown led off for the 4x400 (4:05.48) and was followed by freshmen Christy Cardillo and Coleen Murphy and sophomore Tara Getz. Sophomore Lauren Ventrella, Brown, Pierantozzi and Murphy ran a time of 50.79 seconds in the 4x100.

Senior Danielle Laws had the Warriors' best marks in the throwing events, placing third in the discus (119-6) and hammer (139-6). Senior Jackie Berthelsen was fourth in the shot put (36-6 3/4) and senior Steph Weber was third in the pole vault (9-6 1/4).

Two Warriors also competed in the decathlon at the Charlotte 49er Classic this weekend at UNC Charlotte. Junior Dan Johnson was fifth with 6,131 points and freshman Nate Black was 17th with 4,899 points.

The Warriors will compete at the Monmouth Invitational next weekend in New Jersey in the second of eight meets before the PSAC Championships, which will be contested May 12-14 at Slippery Rock.
