Four Tigers, 4x400 Squad Qualify for NCAA Indoor Championships

PRINCETON, N.J. – Four individuals and a Tiger 4x400 squad were selected to represent Princeton at the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., as the list of qualifiers was released Tuesday night.

Myles Hogan will race in the 5000m, while Connor McCormick will compete in the mile.

Greg Foster will compete in the long jump and Joe Licata will compete in the shot put.

A 4x400 squad, composed of four Tigers from the group of Jonathan York, Xavier Donaldson, Jackson Clarke, Joey Gant, Kavon Miller, Isa Hitchens, Karl Dietz and Jaylen Bennett, will also represent the Orange & Black at the championships.

Foster is seeded second in the nation in the long jump after setting his third PR and Ivy League record of the season this weekend with a mark of 8.24m. His mark ranks seventh in the world.

Licata's new personal-best and Ivy-title winning mark of 19.71 is seeded 11th in the shot put.

Hogan's program-record 13:21.57 time in the 5000m has him seeded 14th going into nationals.

McCormick, seeded 16th, qualified for nationals with his time of 3:54.35.

Making some noise this season, a men's 4x400 squad of York, Donaldson, Clarke and Gant ran a blazing 3:03.56 at the Tyson Invitational, setting a new program record while seeding them 10th at NCAAs.

For Foster, this will mark a third trip to indoor NCAAs. McCormick was a member of last year's Tiger DMR squad at NCAAs. For all other competitors, this will be their first trip to indoor nationals.
