Eagles Notch Five NCAA Qualifying Marks at Bob Pollock Invitational

Eagles Notch Five NCAA Qualifying Marks at Bob Pollock Invitational

The Emory University track and field team turned in one of its strongest performances of the season on Saturday, recording five NCAA qualifying times at the Bob Pollock Invitational, including an automatic qualifying time from Jasmine McCullough in the 100-meter hurdles.

The meet, hosted by NCAA Division I Clemson University in Clemson, SC, featured a number of Division I and unattached runners.

McCullough’s time of 14.45 seconds in the event was not only a person best for the junior, but also the sixth-fastest time by a Division III athlete this season, and the fourth-best mark in Emory history.  She finished 10th overall in the event.

Emory junior Alix Dyer also ran a season-best time in the 100-meter dash, finishing fourth in the event with a provisional qualifying time of 12.20 seconds, the sixth-fastest time in school history.  Dyer was also Emory’s top finisher in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.63 seconds.

Junior Lauren Attiah added a provisional qualifying mark for the women in the triple jump, finishing seventh with a leap of 11.55 meters.  The Emory women’s 4x100-meter relay team also earned a provisional qualification mark, placing third in a time of 48.09 seconds.

For the Emory men, Xavier Fowler recorded a triple jump of 14.45 meters, good for provisional qualification and a fifth-place finish.  The distance was a career-best for Fowler, and the second-best jump overall this season by an Eagle.

Other top marks for the Emory men included Mike Moserowitz’s long jump of 6.56 meters, placing him 11th in the event, and Isaac Chambers’ time of 49.67 seconds in the 400-meter dash, good for a 12th-place finish.

The Eagles will return to action next Thursday, traveling to Naperville, IL for the Dr. Keeler Invitational at North Central College.
