EAST STROUDSBURG - Senior Mike Smith hit an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark in the weight throw and a personal best in the shot put to lead East Stroudsburg University's entrants at the 16th Annual DeSchriver Invitational on Saturday at Koehler Fieldhouse.

Smith had a mark of 58-2 1/2 in the weight throw to hit the NCAA provisional mark for the third straight year. His mark of 50-8 1/4 in the shot put is a PR and the fifth-best mark in program history.

There was one meet record set by Franklin & Marshall's Rebecca Swisher in the women's pole vault (11-11 1/4), surpassing the previous record of 11-10 set by ESU's Laura Beimfohr in 2013.

The Warriors also set two school records in the 600m, a distance which is rarely contested. Senior Damien Boham ran 1:21.67 to break the previous record (1:25.3) set by George Fair in 1990. Sophomore Erin Brady broke the women's record in 1:40.47, surpassing the standard (1:43.8) set by Deb Abrams in 1990.

ESU athletes won eight individual events and five relays, including two double-winners - junior Tirzah Johnson in the long jump (17-9 1/2) and triple jump (35-5 3/4), and sophomore Steven Morgan in the long jump (22-7) and 55m hurdles (7.79).

Senior Christina O'Connor won the women's high jump for the third straight year, clearing 5-6 1/2. O'Connor leads the PSAC and is tied for 7th in DII this year at 5-8.

Junior William Berry captured the men's high jump for the second straight year with a mark of 6-6 3/4. He has the PSAC's second-best mark this year with an NCAA provisional 6-9 3/4.

Other individual winners were Boham in the 600m and senior Steve Ruch in the mile (4:27.20).

ESU's women won all three relays contested. In the 4x200m, the Warriors ran the third-best time in program history (1:44.94) with senior Danielle Smith, sophomore Alexis Bell, Johnson and freshman Sage Terembula contributing.

The 4x4 relay of Brady, Smith, freshman Jaid Harsch and freshman Hope Decker won in 4:05.82. The Distance Medley Relay of sophomore Allison Decker, freshman Kaylyn West, sophomore Lauren Toth and freshman Samantha Young won in 12:49.72.

The men's DMR of freshman Dan Buccino, freshman Eli Mercado, sophomore Brad Meixsell and sophomore Alec Lederer posted a winning time of 10:55.00.

The Warriors had 11 new PSAC qualifiers (four women, seven men) and six improved qualifiers (two women, four men).

On the women's side, freshman Keneesha Jones (7.46) and Johnson (7.52) both qualified in the 55m dash. Hope Decker qualified in the 400m (1:01.96) and Harsch ran a new qualifier in the 55m hurdles (8.87).

Improved PSAC qualifiers came from sophomore Brandie Tartza in the 55m hurdles (8.81) and Johnson in the long jump (17-9 1/2) - the third-best mark in program history.

For the men, freshman Ernest Pendleton ran a PSAC time in the 55m dash (6.65) and Ruch (4:27.20) and sophomore Anthony Ruiz (4:27.61) both qualified in the mile.

Morgan improved his PSAC qualifier in the 55m hurdles (7.79) with ESU's #6 time in program history. He also hit a PSAC qualifying mark in the long jump (22-7) in his first competition in the event, either indoors or outdoors. Morgan is the defending PSAC outdoor champion in the 110m hurdles.

New PSAC qualifiers in the 55m hurdles are junior Derrick Washington (7.96), junior Adam Robertino (7.99) and sophomore John Alston (8.29).

Freshman Zach Dillon, who has an NCAA provisional mark in the long jump (23-1 3/4) earlier this season, hit a PSAC qualifying mark in the triple jump (43-5).

Smith improved his PSAC marks in both the shot put and weight throw. He was the top collegiate finisher in the weight throw and second overall.
