Lumberton’s Greg Foster opened his sophomore year at Princeton with a near PR in the 60- meter hurdles.
Foster ran 7.92 and outraced teammate Easton Tan to win the hurdles at the TCNJ Indoor Opener at the Armory.
Foster led all qualifiers with a 7.99 in the trials, with Tan running 8.10, just off his PR of 8.09.
Foster is No. 3 in Princeton history with his 7.89 at the Harvard-Yale-Princeton tri-meet in Cambridge, Mass., last January. He was the Ivy League long jump champ and competed in the long jump at NCAAs last year but didn’t contest either horizontal jump on Saturday. With his 26-1 ¾ last year Foster was ranked No. 14 among U.S. men.
On the all-time Princeton list, Foster trails Christian Brown [7.76 at the Dr. Sander Invite at the Armory in 2022] and Canadian Joey Daniels [7.77 at Heps in Ithaca in 2020].
