BRONX, N.Y. - The La Salle University men's indoor track and field team returned to action after a month-long layoff at the Mike Massone Invitational, held at the Lombardi Center Field House and hosted by Fordham University.

Williams outdid six other competitors in the long jump, leaping a distance of 6.55 meters to best a pair of Stony Brook jumpers, who finished second and third. In the triple jump, the Mount Holly, N.J. product hit 13.71 meters to finish first by nearly a full meter.

In the sprints, senior Justin Guerre notched a first-place finish in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.01. Teammates Dante Wright and Najee Smith closed in third (7.18) and fourth (7.20), respectively.

Freshman Ethan Cook took home the individual win in the 200-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 22.97, while sophomore Ache Hall edged Stony Brook's Micheal Linbrunner for the 60-meter hurdle gold by four-hundredths of a second.
