Men’s Track & Field Sets Three NCAA Provisionals in Indoor Opener

STATEN ISLAND – The Holy Family University men's track & field team set three NCAA provisionals in its indoor opener at the Fasttrack National Invitational hosted at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Friday.

Javon Bowen (Kingston, Jamaica/Jamaica College) broke his own school record to win the long jump, marking at an NCAA provisional of 7.38m to beat out 47 others.

Nishorn Pierre (Grenada/Jamaica College) and freshman Isaiah Davenport (Pleasantville, N.J./Pleasantville) went one-two in the high jump with NCAA provisionals of 2.14m and 2.04m, respectively.

The 4x800m quartet of La'Marc Rex (Mays Landing, N.J./Oakcrest), Mike McGerry (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge), Dom Prestipino (Connellsville, Pa./Connellsville) and Jonathan Hackshaw (Bronx, N.Y./Cardinal Spellman (Monroe College)) broke a near six-year-old school record by over 10 seconds after combining to finish in 8:26.24 to win silver.

Rounding out the Tigers' medalist was Terrence Jones (East Orange, N.J./William Allen/LCTI), who marked third out of 22 in the triple jump with an indoor collegiate PR of 13.90m.

It was notably Hackshaw's HFU debut on Friday, while Davenport, Rex, Odane Smith (Saint Catherine, Jamaica/Edwin Allen), Daniel Vizcaino (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem), Kimani Smith (Smithville, Jamaica/Edwin Allen), Thelonius Lucien (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts), Raqeeb Somoye (Levittown, Pa./Harry S.
