Bordentown’s Dallas Hohney smashed the NCAA Division 3 record for 500 meters and broke the 42-year-old Rowan record along the way Friday at Oeaan Breeze.
Hohney ran 1:02.33 to win the 2 ½-lap race in the Gotham Cup Invitational. He broke the Division 3 record of 1:02.64 set in March by Basheer Alramahi of John Carroll at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio.
Hohney took down the school record of 1:03.04 set by Willie Lawson at the 1984 IC4A Championships at Princeton’s Jadwin Gym.
Although it’s a D-3 record, it’s not a PR. Hohney ran 1:01.74 last January at the Ott Center as a Rider sophomore.
Teddy Wilson of Toms River North wasn’t far behind Hohney in 2nd place in 1:03.18. That is now 5th-fastest on the all-time D-3 list, which is posted on the USTFCCA web site.
Hohney ran 1:50.71 last January, 3rd-fastest in Rider history.
