FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Seniors Ramon Sosa and Jillian Drouin competed on day one of Division I Indoor NCAA Championship on Friday at the University of Arkansas’ Randal Tyson Track Center. Sosa finished sixth in the first preliminary heat of the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.90 seconds. Drouin placed 17th in the high jump with a tally of 1.75m.
Sosa, who owns Syracuse’s school record in the 60m hurdles, tallies his fifth-best performance of the indoor season at the national championship. He did not qualify for Saturday’s final.
