EWING, N.J. – The Princeton University men's track & field team competed at the College of New Jersey Last Chance Meet Thursday inside the TCNJ Athletic Complex on a day that saw the Tigers' sprinters continue their outstanding form, producing three all-time top-10 times.

"We are so pleased with the performances by our guys today," said William M. Weaver Jr. '34 Head Coach of Men's Track & Field Fred Samara. "The times in the 100 and 200 meters were excellent. I have to give a lot of credit to Coach Robert Abdullah for the fine coaching job he has done this spring."

Princeton's sprinters had another outstanding meet; Ibrahim Ayorinde won the 100 meters in a time of 10.45, tying Carrington Akosa for the second-fastest time in school history. He now trails only Steve Morgan '87, who holds the program record of 10.36.

Simang'aliso Ndhlovu moved up to No. 4 on Princeton's all-time list in the 100 thanks to his time of 10.48. Ndhlovu's previous PR of 10.56 from Heps in 2019 was tied for the seventh-fastest time in program history. Daniel Duncan finished in 10.48, almost topping his PR of 10.47 from Fast Times Before Finals.

In the 200, Duncan and Ayorinde tied for first as they both clocked in at 20.98. Duncan's time was the third-fastest all-time in school history, improving upon his PR of 21.06 from Fast Times Before Finals. Ndhlovu finished third and earned a PR, his time of 21.58 improved upon his previous all-time best of 21.85 from fast times before finals.

Ethan Reese won the 800, clocking in at 1:51.77. Jordan Kaplan finished second after a PR of 1:52.98, besting his previous PR of 1:54.27 from Fast Times Before Finals on Saturday, May 1.
