March 25, 2022 | Men's Track and Field
AUSTIN, Texas – The Princeton University men's track and field team delivered an exceptional performance on day two of the Texas Relays, setting three program records to go along with four top-10 school performances.
Chandler Ault (72.35 m) recorded a new program record in the javelin, eclipsing Rob Manning's mark of 72.34 set at the 1999 IC4As.
Meanwhile, the 4x100 meter relay team of Simang'aliso Ndhlovu, Ibrahim Ayorinde, Daniel Duncan and Greg Sholars ran a 39.77, surpassing their own record of 39.82 set just last week at the Penn Challenge.
Finally, Ibrahim Ayorinde (10.34) set a new program record in the 100 meters, breaking Steve Morgan's record of 10:36 set at the 1987 IC4As.
Two more top-10 times were recorded in the 100 meters, with Daniel Duncan running a 10.35 and 7 Simang'aliso Ndhlovu going 10.41. Those marks are good enough for second and fourth all-time in school history. Additionally, Greg Sholars recorded a personal best time of 10.48.
*Please note for the above performances, a positive wind reading above 2.0 meters per second was detected. As a result, the NCAA, USATF, USTFCCCA, and World Athletics rules indicate such performances cannot count for record setting purposes.
Two relay teams etched their names in the record books, including the 4x400 quartet of William Doyle, Ladislav Töpfer, Andersen Dimon and Michael Phillippy (3:07.92) as well as the distance medley relay foursome of Ethan Reese, Samuel Rodman, Harrison Witt, and Duncan Miller (9:42.42). Those marks rank third and seventh seventh all-time in school history respectively.
In the 110-meter hurdles, Christian Brown (14.22) placed 19th.
In the 110-meter hurdles time trials, Jovan Aigbekaen (14.53) took 14th, followed by Taraje Whitfield (14.58) in 17th and Albert Kreutzer (15.20) in 38th.
Robbie Otal just missed out on resetting the discus record with a second-place toss of 60.07 meters, while C.J. Licata was just short of his personal best with a throw of 55.15 meters that landed him eighth.
In the high jump, Jeffery Hollis tied for second after clearing 2.15 meters.
