The Syracuse Orange men were on the track last night for the opening round of the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Austin.
Sophomore Kevin Robertson grabbed the 12th and final qualifying spot in the 3000m steeplechase with his 8:43.17. Robertson was 7th in the 2nd heat and grabbed the last spot in Friday’s final by 1.5 seconds. A strong performance for the first-time NCAA qualifier.
Jaheem Hayles turned in a season-best time of 13.48 seconds in the 110m hurdles to qualify in 8th place for the final. For the second-year in a row, Hayles has out-performed his NCAA seed position to make the finals, keeping the #HurdleCuse tradition going strong.
