Rowan junior Eli Hendricks from Penns Grove dropped his 100 PR from 10.63 to 10.50 Saturday at a meet in Charlottesville, Va. That is 15th-fastest ever by a South Jersey alum with legal wind.
Hendricks ran 10.63 at a meet last April in Atlanta, but he PR’d twice Saturday, running 10.53 with a 0.3 in the prelims and 10.50 with a 1.7 in the final.
That’s 3rd-fastest with legal wind in Rowan history, behind Eastern’s Rajahn Dixon, who ran 0.32 earlier this month in a home meet in Glassboro, and Bridgeton’s Shamar Love, who ran 10.43 last May at the NJAC Championships in Ewing.
It’s No. 15 on the all-time South Jersey alumni list and puts him at 25th in NCAA Division 3 and 4th in the NJAC.
