Rowan’s Eli Hendricks, a junior from Penns Groec, Rajahn Dixon, a sophomore from Eastern, and Evan Corcoran, a senior from Kingsway, were all among the five-fastest qualifiers Thursday for the final in the 200-meter dash trials at the NCAA Division 3 Championships in Wisconsin.

Hendricks ran 20.99 into a 1.5-meters-per-second headwind and was the 2nd-fastest qualifier, Dixon ran 21.06 into a 0.5 headwind and was 3rd-fastest and Corcoran ran 21.25 with a 1.1 headwind.

All three won their heats and advanced to the final as “large-Q” qualifiers. The final is scheduled for 4:50 p.m. Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium in La Crosse, Wisc.

Hendricks was the No. 7 seed with a season-best 20.95 coming into the meet, Dixon was No. 12 with a 21.02 and Corcoran was No. 17 with a 21.09, so all raced well above their seeding.

Also Thursday, sophomore Samuel Agbessi from Sterling advanced in the 400-meter hurdles with a 52.62. The final is 4:25 p.m. Saturday.

Rowan’s national title hopes were dealt a blow when their four long jumpers failed to score.
