Several Tiger athletes may be entered in more than one event, including Nick Crumpton in the long jump and triple jump and George Abyad in both the discus and shot put. Sophomore Justin Frick will be looking for his second straight IC4A high jump title; he cleared 7 feet, 1/4 inch last May to win the event.
On the women's side, 13 individuals and the Tiger 4X800 meter relay will participate in the ECAC meet. The Tigers will have strong entrants in the distance races, including freshmen Ashley Higginson and Sarah Cummings in the 3,000 meters, while Heps pole vault champion Jess Kloss will lead a group of field event specialists. Freshman hurdler Lauren Barber is also entered in the meet for the Tigers.
Several Tigers on both the men's and women's sides have already qualified for the NCAA East Regional Championships, which will take place May 30-31 at Florida State University.
