WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Derrick Washington broke the freshman record in the men's 400m hurdles and freshman Danielle Smith won the women's 100m dash one week after setting the school record to least East Stroudsburg University at the Monmouth Invitational on Saturday.

Washington won the 400m hurdles in 53.63 seconds, the sixth-fastest time in school history and one-hundredth faster than the freshman record of 53.64 run by Tony Sabb, the former school record holder, in 1981.

Smith bested a field of 49 sprinters in the 100m dash in 12.62 seconds after setting the school record in 12.09 seconds last week at Lynchburg.
