Fifteen student-athletes will represent the Orange as individuals at the NCAA Track and Field East Prelim next week, while the Orange will also have a relay team competing.
Eleven men and the Orange's 4x100-meter team, as well as four women, will compete in Jacksonville for 'Cuse. The group features five student-athletes who are currently seeded in the top-five of their respective event.
Justyn Knight enters as the top Syracuse qualifier, owning the No. 2 seed in the east in the men's 5k, behind only Villanova's Patrick Tiernan. Colin Bennie (10k) and Freddie Crittenden III (110-hurdles) each own the third-best time in their event. Shyalyn Tuite leads the women's qualifiers, with the fourth-best 10k time in the East Region, while Adam Palamar ranks fifth in the 1500-meters.
'Cuse has large contingents of athletes in multiple events, including four qualifiers in the men's 10,000-meters. Behind Bennie, Philo Germano owns the seventh-best time, while Dan Lennon (13th) and Kevyn Hoyos (37th) will also compete for SU in the event.
Syracuse also has three competitors in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Behind Crittenden, Richard Floyd (31st) and David Gilstrap (34th) also qualified in that event.
Two members of the Orange will competed in the men's 1500-meters and women's 10,000-meters as well. In addition to Palamar, Joel Hubbard is the 23rd qualifier in the 1500, while Margo Malone (11th) will also compete with Tuite in the 10k.
Shaina Harrison received the 41st-best qualifying mark in the 100-meter dash, while Winston Lee has the 46th-best mark on the men's side. Tia Thevenin will race in the 100-meter hurdles, with the 27th-ranked qualifying mark.
Last season, eight members of the Orange reached the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, which was a program record.
Syracuse will look to top that mark this season at regionals, which will begin on Thursday, May 26 and run to Saturday, May 28 in Jacksonville.
