Rowan senior Jason Agyemang led all qualifiers into the 110-meter hurdles final at the NCAA Division 3 Nationals Friday, tying the meet record and the 4^th-fastest time in NCAA Diision 3 history. Rowan senior Kwaku Nkrumah from Teaneck was 3^rd-fastest qualifier. Both are former NCAA Division 3 national champions.

Agyemang, from North Plainfield, ran 13.72 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in La Crosse, Wisc., matching his PR from a home meet in Glassboro last month. He tied the meet record set by Taylor Rooney of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn., in the 2021 meet in Greensboro, N.C.

By the luck of the draw, Rowan had all five of its hurdles qualifiers in the same heat, which isn’t ideal since the winner of each heat automatically qualifies for the final. Four hurdlers were unable to finish the race, including Willingboro’s Eric Foster, a Rowan sophomore.

Agyemang won the 60-meter highs at 2025 indoor Nationals, placed 2^nd in last year’s outdoor nationals and was 3^rd in the 60-meter hurdles at Indoor Nationals this past March.

Nkrumah, who also ran 13.72 earlier this year in a home meet in Glassboro, qualified for the final with a 13.88 behind Agyemang’s 13.72. Nkrumah, from Teaneck, won the 110-meter highs at 2024 Nationals and was 5^th in the 60-meter highs indoors in 2025 and 2^nd indoors this year.

No. 2 qualifier was Division 3 record holder Luke Schroeder of host La Crosse. He ran a wind-aided 13.20 last week on his home track and set the D-3 record of 13.32 with legal wind earlier this month, also in La Crosse. He broke the D-3 record of 13.60 set by Riveride’s Jamir Brown as a Rowan freshman last year in the trials of the NJAC Championships in Ewing. He’s now a sophomore at Syracuse.

The final is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday.

Stockton sophomore Elaina Styer earned her 2^nd multi-event All-America honor this year with a 4^th-place finish in the heptathlon at the NCAA Division 3 Championships.

Styer placed 2^nd in the indoor pentathlon in Birmingham, Ala., in March.

Styer scored 5,033 points in the two-day, seven-event test. She finished just 46 points out of 2^nd place and fell just 17 points off her PR of 5,050 from a meet in Ewing last month.

On Thursday, Styer ran 14.40 in the hurdles for 923 points, high jumped 5-3 ¾ for 759 points, threw the shot a PR 38-3 ½ for 639 points and ran 26.26 for 740 points.

Styer, from Estell Manor, opened competition Friday with a 17-6 ¾ long jump, good for 657 points and after a foul on her first javelin throw she hit 107-7 for 530 points. That’s only a foot off her PR of 108-8 from a non-multi last week at a home meet in Galloway Township. She closed with a 2:22.85 for 785 points in the closing 800.

Senior Olivia Bohlen of Central College in Pella, Iowa, won the competition with 5,158 points

Rowan posted the 2^nd-fastest qualifying time the 400-meter relay trials Friday at the NCAA Division 3 Championships at Veterans Memorial Stadium in La Crosse, Wisc.

Rowan won its heat in 40.01, the 20^th-fastest 400-meter relay in NCAA Division 3 history and the Profs’ 3^rd-fastest time. Rowan ran 39.72 last year – No. 5 in D-3 history – when it placed 2^nd at the NCAA Division 3 Championships in Geneva, Ohio, and ran 39.97 a day earlier in the trials.

The final is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. on Saturday.

Sophomore Madaijoudou Diawara of Toms River North led off, followed by senior Evan Corcoran of Kingsway, junior Eli Hendricks of Penns Grove and Rajahn Dixon of Eastern, who was racing for the first time in five weeks.

Wisconsin-Oshkosh, which ran a Division 3-record 38.96 in a home meet last week, was the top qualifier with a 39.50 in a different heat. That’s the 3^rd-fastest time in D-3 history.

Wisconsin-La Cross holds the No. 2 4-by-1 all-time performance with it 39.36 in the same race that Oshkosh ran 38.96. The 17-fastest times in D-3 history have been recorded since 2023.a

David Brown became Rowan’s 1^st freshman national champion in 44 years Friday when he won the high jump at the NCAA Division 3 Championships in Wisconsin.

Brown clinched the title before he had a miss.

Brown, who graduated from Edison High a year ago, locked up in a terrific competition with junior Lukas Nowlin of the Univerity of Southwestern Texas in Georgetown, Texas.

Both were clean up through 6-11 ½, but Nowlin – who entered the meet with a 6-10 ¾ PR before PR’ing at 6-11 ½ – finally missed at 7-0 ½ and Brown cleared on his 1^st attempt to take the lead.

He’s Rowan’s first freshman to win an outdoor national title since Willie Lawson from Plainfield won the 800 in 1982 in Naperville, Ill.

After he secured the win, Brown missed three tries at  7-3, which would have surpassed his PR of 7-2 ¼ and broken the school record he shares with Jeffrey Tucker of Eastern, who cleared 7-2 ¼ at Moravian College in Bethlehem in April 2018.

Brown, junior Jamile Gantt from Paulsboro and sophomore Noah Wampole from Radnor, Pa., all earned All-America honors with their top-eight finishes.  Rowan finished 1-3-4 for 21 points in the one event.

This is Gantt’s 4^th All-America performance. He was 7^th outdoors in 2024 at 6-9 ¾, 3^rd outdoors last year at 6-11 and 4^th indoors this past winter at 6-10 ¼. Wampole is now a three-time All-America after placing 6^th both outdoors last year and indoors this year. Brown is a double All-America after placing 3^rd this winter.

Wampole cleared 6-6, 6-8 and 6-9 on his 1^st attempt, 6-10 ¼ on his second and 6-11 ½ on his 3rd. Gantt had a miss at 6-8 but cleared 6-9 on his 1^st jump and 6-10 ¼ on his 2^nd.

A 4^th Rowan jumper, sophomore Damarion Potts from South Brunswick, cleared 6-8 and placed 14^th. Rutgers-Camden freshman Jaylen Deleon from Highland cleared 6-6 and was the 3^rd freshman in the competition.

Haddonfield’s Dylan Hosty, already the fastest freshman in South Jersey this year in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200, is now also the fastest freshman in the 400.

Hosty continued to display her remarkable range Thursday by running 57.02 to win the 400 at the Baker Invitational on her home track.

She’s already run 2:08.12 for 800 meters at the Camden County Championships earlier this month at Haddon Township, 4:49.48 full mile at the Penn Relays and 10:55.34 last month in Colts Neck.

Hosty’s 800 is a South Jersey freshman record, her mile is No. 2 behind Haddonfield’s Briana Gess [4:45.97 in 2014], her 3,200 is 7^th-fastest among South Jersey freshmen.

Hosty is the No. 1 seed in the 800 at the state Group 2 meet and No. 2 seed in the 1,600.

The top-seeded Rowan 1,600-meter relay team cruised into the finals of the 1,600-meter relay at the NCAA Division 3 Championship in Wisconsin.

The Profs, with three South Jersey legs, ran 3:11.35 and will race in the final at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Rowan ranks No. 1 in NCAA Division 3 with its 3:08.97 in a meet at Widener in Chester, Pa., last week.

Freshman Marquis Taylor from Woodbury and sophomore Samuel Agbessi from Sterling ran the first two legs, junior  Teddy Wilson from Toms River North split 48.26 on the 3^rd leg and junior Dallas Hohney from Glassboro anchored in 46.42.

Rowan has the option of using freshman Rajhan Dixon, the NCAA Division 3 indoor 200 champ, in the final.

The College of New Jersey also advanced for the final with a 3:11.76, giving the New Jersey Athletic Conference two qualifiers.

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 2^nd-fastest qualifier, Dixon ran 21.06 into a 0.5 headwind and was 3^rd-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.

Ocean City’s Elaina Styer, a Stockton sophomore, is off to a flying start in the heptathlon at the NCAA Division 3 Championships in La Crosse, Wisc.

Styer leads the heptathlon after two events at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

In the opening hurdles, Styer ran 14.40 for 923 points. That’s not far off her PR and school-record 14.22.

In the high jump at Veterans Memorial Stadium, Styer earned 759 points after clearing 5-3 ¾. She opened by clearing 4-9 ¾ on her 1st attempt, then passed 4-11 and cleared 5-0 ¼ on her 1st attempt, 5-1 ¼ and 5-2 ½ on her 2nd attempt and 5-3 ¾ on her 1st. She was one of only three women to clear 5-3 ¾.

The heptathlon continues with the shot put and 200 later Thursday and then the long jump, javelin and 800 on Friday.

Styer, 2nd in the pentathlon at indoor NCAAs in Birmingham, Ala., PR’d with 5,050 points in her most recent heptathlon last month in Ewing.

Pleasantville’s Irvin Marable III won the 400-meter hurdles and broke the Wilmington (Del.) school record in the 800-meter run at the CACC Championships in Lakewood.

Marable, a Wilmington sophomore, ran 1:55.94 at the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference meet, breaking his season-best of 1:58.16 from an indoor meet in January at the Ott Center. He ran 1:59.06 in his only previous outdoor 800, in Baltimore last month. An article on the school’s web site doesn’t say what the previous school record was.

Marable placed 2nd in the behind Bridgeport sophomore Edoardo Vandelli, who ran 1:52.65.

It looks like Marable ran for Lincoln University in Lower Oxford Township, hester County, and Coffeyville (Kans.) JUCO landing at Wilmington. He ran his PR 1:54.66 in a meet in Mount Olive, N.C., in his final race for Lincoln in May 2023.

Marable won the 400-meter hurdles in 54.94 and then set a PR of 54.40 at a last-chance meet in West Chester.

Marable also anchored Wilmington’s 3rd-place 4-by-4 team, which ran 3:18.41.

Wilmington sophomore Julian Rich from Camden County Tech won the steeplechase in a personal-best 10:15.17.

Delsea graduate Elisia Lancaster moved into the No. 15 spot on the 2026 U.S. hammer throw list with a 225-1 in a meet in Glassboro. Lancaster’s previous PR was a 222-7 from a meet in Princeton in May of 2025.

Lancaster ranks 65th in the world and No. 56 on the all-time U.S. list. She’s hit the B standard for the USATF Championships in New York July 23-26. The auto standard is 232-0.

Lancaster began her college career at Rowan College at Gloucester County, where she was a multiple JUCO national champion in the shot, discus and hammer and then she spent a year at Towson before finishing at Southern Illinois, where she earned All-America honors indoors in the weight throw and was a Missouri Valley Conference champ in the hammer.

She threw 220-4 at Southern Illinois in May of 2022, improving to 222-7 as a post-grad in 2004 and now 225-1.
