INDOOR TRACK & FIELD

     DURHAM, NC -- North Carolina Central University sophomore Brian Hope won the men's 60-meter dash at the Christopher Newport University Invitational in Newport News, Va. on Sunday (Dec. 4).
     Hope, a native of Raleigh, N.C., posted a winning time of 6.74 seconds to finish nearly two-hundreths of a second ahead of second place John Bailey of Hampton University. Hope's 60m time also makes him a provisional qualifier for the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 10-11, 2006, at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston.
     NCCU swept the men's 200m event, finishing one through three in a dash that included 42 participants. NCCU's Dorian Turner won 200m with a time of 21.95 seconds, 60m winner Hope finished second with a time of 22.18 seconds, while Pensacola, Fla. native Maurice Gailey came in third with a time of 22.32 seconds. Both Turner and Hope posted provisional qualifying times in the 200m for the NCAA Championships.
     However, NCCU's successful day was not limited to sprint-running. Sophomore Yolanda Barber (5 minutes, 18 seconds) and junior Rashaad Lee (4 minutes, 33 seconds) both finished second in the women's and men's mile run.
     The Lady Eagle foursome of Robin Thomas, Aisha Brown, Rejon Littlepage and Barber won the 4x800m relay with a time of 10:22.61.
