MANCHESTER, Ind. The University of Saint Francis men's track team continued to produce strong performances and this past Saturday was no exception as the Cougars had two more athletes qualify for the National meet in May.

Freshman Nick Adams qualified in the hammer throw with a mark of 48.49 meters. This gave him second place behind Adam Longsworth who improved on his seasons best with a throw of 53.22 meters. 

Sophmore Eulise Barney, on his last attempt in the long jump, hit a mark of 6.96 meters.  Although it wasn't enough to edge out Scott Gill from Taylor University, it was good enough to earn him a trip Nationals with Adams and Longsworth.

Also performing well on the men's side was freshman sprinter Dustin Wilson who won the 200 with a time of 22.34 and was second in the 400 with a time of 49.87. Alex Bush ran a five second PR in the 800 as he finished in 2:06 in ninth place.

The women's team also performed well with Morgan Roy equaling her seasons PR in the long jump at 4.43 meters good for fourth place. Angela Saraceno ran a PR in the 400 with a time of 1:07.21 for sixth place and Dana Leinhos also ran a her best time in the 800 with a 2:34 to place seventh. 

Next up for USF will be the MCC meet hosted by Goshen College on 4/25-4/26.
