EAST STROUDSBURG – East Stroudsburg University junior Marissa Flim bested a 2016 Olympic runner in the 55-meter dash to highlight seven event victories for the Warriors in the 19th annual DeSchriver Invitational on Saturday.

Flim ran a personal-best time of 7.18 in her race, beating out hurdling standout Nia Ali by 0.01 in the final heat. Ali earned a silver medal for the U.S. Olympic team in the 100m hurdles at the 2016 Summer Olympics, and she was the 2014 World Indoor Champion in the 60m hurdles. A Philadelphia native, she is currently in training for the upcoming World Championships.

Flim's time, three-hundredths off her previous PR, ranks No. 3 in ESU program history. Her performance was one of five individual race wins on the track for the Warrior women.

The 4x200m relay team of junior Aspen Gaita, Flim, sophomore Sarah Klag and sophomore Tiana Webster began the afternoon with a first-place time of 1:44.80. That mark is No. 2 all-time in team history, only 0.08 off the school record which was established in 2001.

Gaita would later top a field of 31 runners in the 55m hurdles, crossing the line in a new PSAC qualifying time of 8.22, and she placed third in the high jump with a top clearance of 5-3 3/4.

The next win on the track came from junior Shante Dorin in the 600m. Her time of 1:39.92 is No. 2 all-time at ESU, less than two seconds off Erin Brady's mark of 1:38.06 set at last year's DeSchriver meet.

Senior Kaylyn West (1000m, 3:03.64) and senior Samantha Young (3000m, new PSAC time of 10:29.88) were the final individual winners. Dorin, sophomore Allyson Stitzer, junior Victoria Matthews and Klag concluded the afternoon with a first-place showing in the 4x400m relay (4:03.99).

The ESU women totaled nine new PSAC marks on Saturday. Senior Jasmine Amro (18:55.06) booked her spot while finishing fourth in the 5000m. ESU alum Rose Mascoli posted a dominant win in the event, lowering her own meet record with a time of 17:37.70.

Three Warriors followed Flim with new PSAC times in the 55m dash. Webster (7.38) placed fourth, sophomore Morgan Dey (7.49) was fifth and freshman Nyle Hill (7.51) was 10th. Stitzer registered the final PSAC mark on the track after finishing third out of 50 runners in the 400m (1:01.57).

Sophomore Tatiana Williams and sophomore Barbara Grossov provided the new PSAC distances in the field events. Williams' top effort of 35-4 in the triple jump ranked her sixth out of 22 competitors, and it is No. 10 all-time in team history.

Grossov qualified in the weight throw with a top toss of 43-8. Sophomore Me'Saj Closs finished third in that event with a throw of 47-10 1/2, while sophomore Sam Giangrasso was fifth with a career-best toss of 47-6 1/4 which ranks No. 7 all-time.

Sophomore Carly Gregas added a season-best clearance of 5-3 3/4 while placing second in the high jump.

Some members of the track & field team will have next weekend off. Others will travel to Staten Island on Friday to take part in the Fast Track National Qualifier.
