Three student-athletes from The College of Wooster track & field teams competed at Friday’s Gator Invitational, hosted by Allegheny College. The meet featured individuals from 45 schools, spanning all NCAA divisions and NAIA, as competitors attempted to improve or reach qualifying marks for their respective national meets.

Highlighting Wooster’s results were triple jumpers Eric Dyer, Tristan Jordan, and Kayla Miller. Dyer and Jordan had already provisionally qualified for the NCAA Div. III Championships and weren’t able to improve on their earlier performance, but still were among the top-eight in the highly-competitive field. Dyer placed fourth with a mark of 13.80 meters and Jordan was right behind in sixth at 13.74 meters.

Miller, who provisionally qualified for the Div. III meet last year, improved on her season-best mark Friday, hitting 10.76 meters for sixth-place overall in the women’s field, but it won’t be enough to put her in the NCAA field.

Dyer and Jordan are expecting to land invites, as they entered this weekend with the eighth- (14.30 meters) and 13th-best jumps (14.26 meters), respectively, in Div. III this season.
