Horn Punches Ticket to NCAA Championships for Third Time

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On Friday, the High Point University track and field teams added another athlete to the group going to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Sydney Horn qualified in the women’s pole vault at the NCAA East First Rounds for the fourth time in her career.

Horn entered the women’s pole vault competition at the second bar height after passing the first. She cleared the first bar at 4.09m on her second attempt before clearing 4.24m on her first attempt. The 4.24m clear secured her a third-place finish and an advancement to the NCAA Championships and will join Ricardo Montes de Oca and Cole Wilson HPU’s qualifiers. Horn has been a First Team All-American all three years that she has made the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Also competing in the women’s pole vault, Auriane Viola and Emily Romano rounded out their careers making the top 20 overall, each clearing 3.94m.

In the men’s high jump, High Point had two athletes representing the purple and white. Shaun Thomas had a strong performance clearing the first bar at 2.05m and the second bar at 2.10m, each on first attempts. Unable to clear 2.15m, Thomas placed 17th overall. At Alex Constantinou’s first NCAA First Rounds, he cleared 2.05m on his second attempt to close out his junior season.

Camerin Williams raced in the men’s 800m quarterfinals on Friday afternoon. The freshman placed in the top 20 recording a 1:48.44 time.

Closing out the night for the Panthers, the 4x400m relay team competed alongside some of the best relay teams in the country. The group consisting of Marquis Belle, Tim Brown, Camerin Williams and Myles Darroch placed 21st with a 3:08.09 time.

UP NEXT:
High Point will complete the final day of the NCAA East First Rounds on Saturday afternoon. Brianna Malone will race in the women’s 1500m quarterfinals at 5:15 p.m. The top 12 athletes will qualify for the NCAA Championships. After Malone’s race, Alyssa Hendrix will run in the women’s 3000m steeplechase at 5:40 p.m. with a chance to make the top 12 for a trip to Eugene.
