MORGANTOWN, W.Va.

In the preliminary race, the former McDowell standout posted a time of 8.30 seconds before provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Championships with a time of 8.21 seconds in the finals.

Senior tri-captain Frank Ehrensberger (Saint Marys, Pa./Elk County Catholic) captured titles in both the 200- and 400-meter dashes at West Virginia.
