Pierre Sets NCAA Provisional for Second Week in a Row in Men’s Track & Field’s Penultimate Regular Season Meet

STATEN ISLAND – One week after setting an NCAA Provisional in the high jump, Nishorn Pierre (Grenada/Jamaica College) did so in the triple jump as the HFU men's track & field team competed at the NYC Gotham Cup at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Friday.

Pierre marked at 14.80m to break the school record set by teammate Robbie Robertson earlier this season. Placing second in the field of 20, it was the longest jump in the East Coast Conference (ECC) this season, as well as they ninth longest in all of Division II.

After advancing to the 60m hurdle final with the sixth-fastest qualifying time, 8.51, amongst 27 entries, Terrence Jones (East Orange, N.J./William Allen/LCTI) crossed in 8.23 to place third in the final with the fastest time in the ECC this season. The time was .01 second away from an NCAA provisional
Jones also posted a top-five finish after marking at a collegiate personal record (PR) in the long jump, 6.74m, where Nafis Zollicoffer (Philadelphia, Pa./Parkway West) joined him in the top-eight in the field of 39 with a collegiate PR 6.60m
- Skyler Salay (Burlington Township, N.J./Burlington Township) (6.31m) marked in the top-15 as well

Kouto Anyika (Philadelphia, Pa./Pennwood) narrowly missed out on two school records and NCAA Provisionals, first placing second out of 62 in the 400m with a time of 49.44 that moved him atop the ECC while falling .05 short of the school record and less than a second shy of an NCAA provisional
- He then ran a collegiate PR 22.28 in the 200m for the 10th-fastest time out of 66 entries, clocking .02 seconds behind the school record and again less than a second away from an NCAA provisional
Zollicoffer (collegiate PR 51.63) and Jade Acevedo (Bronx, N.Y./Mount Saint Michael Academy) joined him in the top-half of the field
Javon Bowen (Kingston, Jamaica/Jamaica College) (7.03) and Nadir Paige (Pennsauken, N.j/Pennsauken) (7.24) both placed in the top-half of the field of 69 in the 60m, with Bowen falling .01 seconds shy of the school record with a collegiate PR and the second-fastest time in the ECC this season
Salay and Jones both cleared 1.89m in the high jump to finish in the top-half of the field of 17
Tyler Wesley (Hartford, Conn./Bloomfield) ran a collegiate PR 2:03.93 in the 800m, while Shymir Harris (Philadelphia, Pa./Academy at Palumbo) fell .01m shy of his collegiate PR, 10.70m, in the shot put
Wesley was also part of the 4x400m relay team, along with Anyika, Zollicoffer and Acevedo, that clocked a new season-best (3:29.58)
