READING, Pa. - Hood College's 4x200 meter relay team and Dustin Miller (Frederick, Md./Gov. Thomas Johnson) set more school records, while three athletes qualify for the 60-meter dash final to lead the men's track and field team at day one of the Middle Atlantic Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, hosted by Alvernia University. 

Record Breakers

• The 4x200-meter relay team of Jamel Mins (Columbia, Md./Atholton), Evan Ellington (Laurel, Md./St. Vincent Pallotti), Rell Asamoah (Frederick, Md./Tuscarora) and Tofunmi Okuseinde (Baltimore, Md./Parkville) ran a time of 1:33.34, placing third. The time not only gave the Blazers six points and all-conference honors, it broke the quartet's school record of 1:34.65 which was set a couple of weeks ago at the same venue.  
• Miller broke Hood's weight throw record with a mark of 14.39 meters (47-2 ½), placing eighth. The mark bested the graduate student's previous record mark of 13.84 meters (45-5) which was set a couple of weeks back. His placement also awarded the Blazers their first point as a team. 

Highlights 

• Mins nearly had another record, tying the school record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.04 seconds, placing second overall in the preliminary round. 
• Asamoah and Ellington both clocked career bests in the 60-meter dash with identical times of 7.08 seconds, placing fourth and fifth. Not only were the times the second fastest times in school history, but both join Mins in the 60-meter final Saturday afternoon.   

Notes 

• The Blazers are currently in 11th place with seven points after day one. 
• Widener is atop the team standings with 45 points.
