Jan. 6, 2012

NEW YORK, N.Y. - As the competition gets better, so to does Lehman's Tobi Alli.

Competing with her teammates at the Metropolitan Coaches Invitational at the Armory on Friday night, Alli set a Lehman women's record in the 60-meter dash, running a 7.68 to place second behind Jessie Gaines (7.58) of Division I Long Island University. Alli's finals time was an improvement over her preliminary time of 7.76 seconds and further buoys her standing on the Division III list of Nationals qualifiers. The Lightning sophomore outpaced three others from LIU as well as runners from Monroe College and Fairleigh Dickinson in the finals.

She later partook in the women's long jump and finished in fourth place with a leap of 17-feet, 10.75 inches.

Freshman Shantay Beccan found her way into the finals of the 60-meter hurdles, where she placed sixth overall with a time of 9.68 seconds. Beccan also took third in the high jump, launching herself 4-feet, 11-inches.

In Heat #1 of the women's shot put, Yrvane Edmond finished third with a toss of 22-feet, 0.25-inches.

On the men's side, Jordan DeJoie finished in third place in the No. 1 heat of the shot put, throwing out to 34-feet, 9.75 inches. Greg Borgmann of Gwynedd-Mercy College copped the top spot with a heave of 36-feet, 11.5-inches.

The Lightning men and women are back at the Armory on January 13 when they will compete in the Gotham Cup Invitational.
