EDINBORO, Pa. – Six different individuals earned All-PSAC status, and East Stroudsburg University had 10 top-three finishes overall on its way to a second-place team finish at the 2019 PSAC Indoor Track & Field Championships.
Freshmen
Justin Miller and
Jalen Bailey led the way with a pair of top-three performances for the Warriors, who achieved their highest finish at the indoor conference meet since 2014. ESU used its depth from top-to-bottom on Saturday, with at least one Warrior cracking the top eight in 15 of 18 contested events.
Miller was the runner-up in both the long jump (22-7 3/4) and triple jump (47-3). His triple jump mark is a new PR, and it ranks No. 7 overall in program history.
Bailey had a pair of standout third-place efforts in sprint events. He broke a seven-year ESU freshman record and moved to No. 4 all-time in team history in the 200m (22.04), and he finished under the DII provisional standard with a PR effort of 8.20 in the 60m hurdles. That time is No. 5 all-time at ESU.
