Maryland Eastern Shore competed in its third meet of the season, the Maryland Invitational, Saturday at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Center.

The Hawks were one of 36 collegiate teams at the annual event hosted by the University of Maryland.

UMES earned seven top-10 finishes in individual events from six athletes in the non-scoring meet.

Sophomore Thomas Keane-Dawes was the only Hawk to place in the top 10 in more than one event. He was fourth in the 400 (50.43) and ninth in the 200 (22.63). Fellow sophomore Paul Jones-Burden was just ahead of Keane-Dawes in the 400 clocking in at 50.02 in third.

Freshman Harrison Agbor-Eyong was second in the weight throw with a mark of 10.56 meters. Sophomore Peter Sang crossed sixth in the 3,000 meters with a time of 8:52.55.

2008 Beijing Olympian Allodin Fothergill was eighth in the 60-meter race in 6.98.

Senior Jamahl Strachan also was eighth in the pole vault, jumping 1.93 meters.

Two UMES teams were in the 4x400-meter relay, with the Hawks' "A" team (3:26.55) finishing sixth, more than 10 seconds ahead of the "B" team (3:36.80), which was 15th.

Both UMES track and field teams are back in action Jan. 20 in New York, N.Y. at the Great Dane Classic.
