COLLEGEVILLE - Junior Laura Beimfohr hit the NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark in the pole vault and senior Rose Mascoli won the 3000m in her season debut to lead East Stroudsburg University at the Ursinus Indoor Classic on Friday.
Beimfohr cleared 11-5 3/4 to reach the NCAA provisional standard for the third straight indoor season. Beimfohr placed second in the event and is ESU's record holder both indoors (11-9 3/4) and outdoors (11-8 1/2).
Mascoli, an All-American in track and cross country in her career at ESU, was one of five individual winners for the Warriors. She won the 3000m in 10:41.17 for a margin of victory of just eight-hundredths of a second in her first competition since cross country season.
Sophomore Christina O'Connor, who hit an NCAA Division II provisional qualifier in the high jump last week at Kutztown, won for the second straight week with a mark of 5-3 3/4. She cleared 5-7 3/4, tied for third-best in Division II, a week ago.
Other winners were sophomore Damien Boham in the 400m (50.17), senior Mike Saparito in the 800m (1:57.79) and sophomore Donovan Tolbert in the triple jump (47-8), just off his provisional mark of 47-9 in the season opener at Lehigh in December.
The Warriors also won three relays, two on the women's side and one for the men. All six ESU relays finished in the top three.
The men's 4x200m relay ran the sixth-fastest time in school history (1:31.59) with junior Keith Parker-Washington, freshman William Berry, sophomore Kyle Rickard and sophomore Brett Yeomans.
The women's 4x200m relay of sophomore Danielle Smith, senior Lauren Ventrella, junior Rachel Pierantozzi and freshman Tirzah Johnson won in 1:48.0. The Distance Medley Relay of junior Kim Wernerspach, junior Theresa Horn, junior Chelsea Morales and Mascoli won in 12:53.01.
The men's DMR of senior Amr Aldeen, junior Chris Schneider, sophomore Chris Ott and senior Frank Fezza was second in 10:36.09. Both 4x400m relays were third - Boham, Berry, freshman Adam Robertino and senior Andrew Sloves for the men (3:27.42) and senior Julie Granteed, Ventrella, senior Aniyah Williams and Wernerspach for the women (4:09.92).
Ventrella was third in the 60m hurdles (9.15) and Pierantozzi was third in the 60m dash (8.05). Smith, making her season debut after winning the 100 and 200 at the PSAC Outdoor Championships last spring, was fifth in 8.16 after running second in the prelims at 7.99. Senior Lauren Hannan was third in the triple jump at 34-8 1/4.
The rest of the men's performances included a two-three finish in the 3000m, where senior Jim Romano was second in 9:12.03 and Ott was third in 9:12.60. Aldeen was fifth to Saparito in the 800 (2:00.76) and sophomore Kyle Reese was fifth in the mile (4:35.02). Sophomore Brandon Mercer was third in the 60m dash (7.12) and Soden was second in the 60m hurdles (8.62).
In the high jump, freshman Seth Bailey was second and Tolbert was third, both at 6-2. Freshmen Chris Davis and Corey Smith hit season-bests of 13-11 1/4 in the pole vault to finish sixth and seventh, and Parker-Washington was seventh in the long jump at 20-3 3/4.
The Warriors are in action next weekend at the Bison Open and Multi at Bucknell University.
