Richard Gilchrist had the top qualifying mark in the 110m hurdles at 14.14 seconds at the Larry Ellis Invitational hosted by Princeton.  The finals were not contested due to the weather.  Gilchrist was also part of the Mount's 4x100m relay team that flirted with a school record with a time of 40.89 seconds that was good for a third-place finish.  That mark is second on the Mount's all-time list, and is the top time in the MAAC this year.
