STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Freshman Akeim Thomas ran 8.13 in the 60m hurdles, an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying time and an East Stroudsburg University freshman record, to lead the Warriors at the Fast Track National Invitational on Friday afternoon.

Thomas' time, the second-fastest in school history, joins junior Steven Morgan (8.14 last week at the Armory) as Warriors with NCAA provisional qualifiers in the 60m hurdles this season. He broke ESU's freshman record of 8.26 set by Cory Young in 2010.

ESU's squad compiled five new and four improved PSAC qualifiers in the penultimate meet before the PSAC Championships, which will be contested February 27-March 1 at Edinboro.

Junior Allison Decker improved her PSAC qualifier in the 5000m and nearly hit the NCAA DII provisional qualifier, running 17:29.29 – third-fastest in school history.

Freshman Victoria Matthews tied her PSAC qualifier in the high jump (5-3), and junior Brandie Tartza tied her PSAC mark in the pole vault (10-4).

On the men's side, Thomas was one of five Warriors to compete in the 60m hurdles. He ran 8.21 in the prelims, already a PR, before clocking 8.13 in the final to finish fifth in a field of 34.

Junior Steven Morgan ran 8.32 after recording 8.14 last week, an NCAA provisional time.
