WHO TO WATCH
  • Junior Darian Alston has already set the school record in the triple jump on two separate occasions in his first season with the team. A two-time Atlantic 10 Field Performer of the Week, Alston will look to show the A-10 what he can do in both the long jump and triple jump.
  • Senior Nathan Gillis and junior Anthony Hawthorne return to the A-10 Championship, aiming to rack up some points in the middle distance running events. Gillis, the conference Track Performer of the Week on Feb. 12, recently broke the school record in the 800 meters, a mark that was previously held by Hawthorne.
  • Sophomore Dennis Manyeah will make his A-10 Championship debut in the high jump. Manyeah, also in his first year with the Explorers, owns the second best high jump mark in the league so far this season at 2.04 meters.
  • In the sprints, freshman Chris Lewis has made an impact in both the 60-meter and 200-meter dash. The league's Rookie of the Week on Jan. 15, Lewis has the third fastest 60-meter time and sixth fastest 200-meter time in the A-10 this year.
  • Sophomore Luke Jaciw-Zurakowsky has been crucial for La Salle in the distance category. He's posted the A-10's fourth fastest marks in both the mile and 3,000 meters.
