BOSTON/HOUSTON – Trinity University men's track & field student-athletes Azariah Anderson (St. Charles, Mo. / Francis Howell North) and Will Salony (Dallas, Texas / JJ Pearce) represented the Tiger team in a pair of races over the weekend.

Both competitors were hoping to improve their chances to qualify for the NCAA III Indoor National Championships, held March 8-9 in Virginia Beach, Va. Salony qualified for the NCAA Cross Country Championships this past fall and earned Trinity's best-ever finish for a men's runner. Anderson was selected for the NCAA Outdoor Championships last spring, finishing ninth in the 110-meter hurdles.

Anderson raced at the University of Houston's Howie Ryan Invitational on Friday night. He finished the prelims of the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.17 seconds, qualifying for the finals. In the finals, he ran 8.35 and finished seventh overall. Anderson's prelim time of 8.17 is tied with two other runners for the 18th-fastest in Division III this season (following Friday's results).  

Salony competed at the Boston University David Hemery Valentine Invitational on Saturday evening in Boston, Mass. He posted a career-best 4:07.95 in the Mile run, which is the 13th-fastest in Division III this season entering this weekend.  

The entirety of the Tiger men's and women's track & field teams will return to action on March 1-2 at the annual Trinity Invitational that will kick off the outdoor season. The winter indoor track & field season concludes at the NCAA Championships the following weekend.
