13 More Tigers Qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships; Plus, an Ivy Record Falls
May 27, 2022 | Men's Track and Field
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Tigers closed out the NCAA East Regional on a high note, as 13 more members of the Princeton track and field team qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The orange and black also set a new Ivy League record in the 4x100 meter relay.
The foursome of Simang'aliso Ndhlovu, Ibrahim Ayorinde, Daniel Duncan and Greg Sholars set a new Ivy League record time of 39.14, good enough for fifth place in the event. It bested their previous Ivy record of 39.36, set at the Virginia Challenge in April.
The 4x400 meter relay team of Ladislav Töpfer, William Doyle, Andersen Dimon and Michael Phillippy followed suit, securing 10th place with a time of 3:06.19. That mark ranks second all-time in school history.
In the 400 meters, Michael Phillippy (46.10) placed 12th, earning the last qualifying slot.
In the 800 meters, Sam Rodman (1:49.08) finished 14th overall, however, because he finished third in his heat, Rodman will advance to the next round.
In the 1,500 meters, Sam Ellis (3:41.31) was third in his heat and 11th overall.
In the 3,000-meter steeplechase, Ed Trippas (8:33.93) nabbed the top spot in the region.
Robbie Otal finished fourth in the discus with a distance of 57.73 meters. C.J. Licata (53.67 m) was 22nd.
Jeffrey Hollis claimed sixth place after clearing 2.18 meters, tying his personal best mark set at the Athletic Elite in 2019.
Kevin Berry (13:57.21) and Nicholas Bendtsen (13:59.27) saw their season end after placing 22nd and 27th in the 5,000 meters respectively. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Ayorinde did not compete in the 200 meters, but will join the 4x100 meter relay team in Eugene, Oregon.
Up Next: 16 members of the Princeton University men's track and field team will compete in the NCAA Outdoor Championships June 8 – June 11 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
