BALTIMORE – The Coppin State men’s track and field team couldn’t have asked for a better “Senior Day” performance in front of many friendly faces during the annual Don Webster Invitational meet Friday afternoon.

Even though senior runners Kerrone White, Jeremy Dorsey, Devin James and Kester Chase received beautifully large framed and color photo collages commemorating their careers during an emotional ceremony, they’ll forever remember Friday’s effort in their photographic memories and through social media.

It was an awesome effort by the Eagles, which puts them on pace to finish the season with a flourish. Dorsey won two individual events (200 and 110 hurdles) and was part of a winning 4 x 100-meter relay team with Chase, Haysean Cowie-Clarke and Shane Green that established a school record of 40.32 seconds.

The centerpiece of the afternoon and the cause of the Eagles mood reversal from a week ago was their ultra-fast 4x100-meter relay performance that set the track on fire. The quartet broke the previous standard of 40.94 that was set last year at the Florida Relays. The time of 40.32 seconds puts the Eagles in solid position to earn a trip to Jacksonville at the end of the month, site of the NCAA Division I East Region Preliminary Championships.

Green soared to a career best effort of 15.58 meters (51 feet and some change) in winning the triple jump. Green’s effort will undoubtedly place him in the top 20 among East Regional qualifiers when the list is updated following this weekend. Michael James captured the 800-meter run in 1:52.02.

In addition to the school record, Fabian Hayles ran a personal best in finishing fourth in the 400-meter dash (48.02). Hayles was also a member of the Eagles’ 4 x 400-meter relay team that included Michael James, Alaric Coker and Eric Thomas. They finished second overall in their race in a time of 3:12.28.

Devin James soared 7.22 meters in the long jump, which was also a personal best effort. For James, this performance in his final home meet was special.

The Eagles as a team are excited to achieve more after this strong effort in the meet that featured strong competition from 11 teams and lots of outside clubs. Other Eagles who competed included Keshaun Hodges, who finished sixth in the 100-meter dash (11.05 seconds), Chase, who was sixth in the 200 (21.89) and Coker, who was third in the 800 (1:52.64).

White was the final senior honored by the Eagles. The Brooklyn (N.Y.) native will receive his degree in criminal justice next week at Coppin State’s commencement ceremony. He has been a solid contributor for the Eagles program during his time while earning All-MEAC academic honors throughout his career.

Coppin State returns to action next weekend when it competes in the ECAC/IC4A Championship meet at Princeton.
