The men’s track and field team had two ECAC qualifiers yesterday in the Coach P Invitational at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa.
Senior captain Doug Koury had a hand in both qualifiers. Koury, freshman Rashaad Barrett, and sophomores Brennon Edmonds and Jake Willis made up the 4×100-meter relay team that qualified with a time of 42.78 seconds. The relay squad finished second in the event behind Lehigh University, who finished in 42.03 seconds.
Koury also qualified for the ECACs in the 400-meter dash at 49 seconds flat.
Junior Nathan Bickell won the steeplechase with a time of 9:44.75. The race
was won by less than a second over Utica College junior Hunter Padgett.
