Jan. 12, 2008

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA - Senior Marcos Edghill led five IC4A qualifiers as the Temple men's track team opened the 2008 portion of its schedule at the Penn State Relays on Saturday. Eghill was second in the 55m dash (6.47) and fifth in the 55m hurdles (7.65), setting season and team-bests in both events.

Sophomore David Stonfer, who spent last fall at Penn State before transferring to Temple, returned to Happy Valley with a bang. He qualified for the IC4A Championship in the 500m by finishing third in a time of 1:04.88.

Junior Bryce Buffaloe met IC4A standards in the weight throw (55-7) to place ninth in his first event after walking-on to the football team this fall. The 4x400 relay, comprised of senior Marquise Stancil, freshman Nick Argis, junior Jason Sullivan and Stonfer, also was an IC4A qualifier (3:18.59).

Sullivan was seventh in the 1000m with a season-best time of 2:31.68. Stancil was ninth in the 500m (1:06.12), while freshman Charles Goold set a season-best by finishing tenth in the mile (4:31.80).

Freshman Miles Dryden was second in the long jump (22-9 3/4), less than an inch better than sophomore Tim Boeni (22-9). Sophomore Josue Louis was fifth in the high jump (6-4 1/4).

The Owls are back in action next weekend at the Gotham Cup.
