Sullivan Ranked 38th Nationally as Track Season Concludes
May 22, 2006

SALISBURY, MD - Salisbury University completed its season when the NCAA National Track & Field Committee announced their selection for the 2006 Outdoor Track & Field Championships. 

Freshman Kelly Sullivan (Phoenix, MD/Maryvale Prep) who was provisionally qualified and ranked 38th in the 3000 meter steeplechase with the time of 11:18.29 missed the cut for this weekend’s NCAA National Championships.  The NCAA Committee took the top 19 student athletes with the final qualifying time being 10:59.9 from the provisional qualifying list. 

"I am very proud of Kelly and what she has accomplished this season.  She provisionally qualified for nationals and won the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Championship in the 3000 meter steeplechase in a conference record time," said head coach Jim Jones.  "She is young and I know she will be in the NCAA championships in the future with continued development."

Overall, it was another successful season for the Sea Gulls.  The men won the CAC Championships for the third consecutive year while the women finished second.  The women also broke two school records and one CAC meet record. 

"Both teams have a lot to be thankful for this year," said Jones.  "We only lose a few seniors to graduation and, with the majority of both teams returning, it leads me to believe 2007 will be another banner year.  We will be hosting the CAC meet and I feel we will have more NCAA qualifiers in the near future.  I am already looking forward to next year with our new recruits and veterans."

Salisbury Sees Four School Records Fall in Last Indoor Meet
March 4, 2006
 

VIRGINIA TECH LAST CHANGE INVITE
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Salisbury University Indoor Track & Field team took only eight athletes to compete in the Last Chance Invite Meet on the Virginia Tech. campus. Half of those participants made their "last chance" count as four more school records fell at the feet of the talented Sea Gull runners. 

Eric Graves (Catonsville, MD/Catonsville) bested teammate Will Murdoch’s record in the 3000 Meter Run. Graves clocked in with an 8:53.10, good enough for sixth place among elite runners from many divisions. Several Division I runners from top schools such as N.C. State, Virginia, Virginia Tech., South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia were competing in every event. Many events also had numerous specialists competing from schools spanning the East Coast. 

Marcus Tines (Warrenton, VA/Liberty) broke his own record in the 200 Meter Dash with a blistering time of 22.76. Tines beat his previous mark by 0.36 seconds which, in sprints, is a sizeable decrease. His time was 15^th overall against some of the nation’s best sprinters. 

Colton Vander Vliet (Port Murray, NJ/West Morris Central) set a new record in the grueling 400 Meter Dash. His time of 52.14 earned 13^th place. Vander Vliet, only a sophomore, is part of a talented group of 400 Meter runners at Salisbury that could push each other for the next few years. 

The final record was broken by senior standout Casey McInerny (Elmira, NY/Elmira Free Academy). McInerny placed ninth overall in the Mile Run with an outstanding time of 5:19.69. She bested her own record by more than seven seconds as McInerny keeps adding to her impressive list of accomplishments at Salisbury. 

With warm weather approaching, the Sea Gull runners will shift their attention to the outdoor season. If the final indoor meet was a sign of things to come, the Salisbury Track and Field team could be a major force in the Capital Athletic Conference this spring.
