Rowan, with with Willingboro’s Eric Foster, Penns Grove’s Eli Hendricks and Kingsway’s Evan Corcoran in the lineup, ran the 3rd-fastest 400-meter relay in NCAA Division 3 this year Monday night in Chester, Pa.
The Profs won the 4-by-1 at the Widener Last Chance Invitational in 40.17, the 26th-fastest time in Division 3 history. Only two Wisconsin schools – Oshkosh and La Crosse – have run faster this year. Oshkosh ran 39.78 earlier this month in La Crosse and La Crosse ran 39.79 last month in Des Moines, Idaho.
Rowan ran 39.72 last year – No. 3 in D-3 history – at the NCAA Division 3 Championships in Geneva, Ohio, with Bridgeton’s Shamar Love and Highland’s Robert McKinney along with Hendricks and Corcoran.
They also ran 39.97 with the same lineup one day earlier in the prelims, 40.03 at Widener last May with Love, McKinney, Hendricks and Corcoran and 40.14 in 2023 at Nationals in Rochester with Love, Sterling’s Jah’mere Beasley, Nana Agyemang of Parsippany and Corcoran.
