Ames, Andrews, Komolafe Lower School Records at Paul Kaiser Classic


SHIPPENSBURG, Pa.--Blair Ames, William Andrews and Ola Komolafe all bested school records Saturday at the Paul Kaiser Classic hosted by Shippensburg University.

A partial squad traveled to Shippensburg for the event to compete against 18 schools, several of them prominent Pennsylvania NCAA Division II programs.

Highlighting the men's events were William Andrews who won the 10,000 meters. In the process, he shaved nearly 90 seconds off his previous best, running 35:56.03. He came from almost 200 meters back at the half-way point, running the second half of his race 20 seconds faster than the first half.

Ola Komolafe erased the last remaining men's mark from the club-era, running 11.33 in the finals of the men's 100 meter dash to grab fourth. This replaced Mike Blackman's record of 11.43 set on March 13, 2004, the year of the club's founding. Komolafe now holds all three of the flat-track sprint records.

Blair Ames secured the final school record of the day, narrowing his 1500 meter time to 4:12.29.

Personal bests were are also set by Tomilayo Komolafe (men's 100 meters) and Jamie Warrick (men's javelin). Additionally, the Hood men's 4x100 placed 6th.

This was the final meet for seniors Steve Delaney and Ryan Jenkins. "I owe each of these athletes a debt of gratitude for sticking with what was a very thin program three years back," said head coach Brent Ayer. "I practically begged Steve to come here to jumpstart the cross country and distance programs. Ryan has been running track since he was eight years old and brought a sense of professionalism to our efforts."
