STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Freshman Matthew Scarpill met IC4A qualification in the mile and senior Collin Crilly won the 1000m title as the Saint Joseph's men's track and field squad raced the Saturday Night Fastrack Last Chance Invitational, held at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Saturday evening. The unscored meet served as a final opportunity for the Hawks to qualify for the upcoming IC4A Indoor Track and Field Championships, set PRs in their events, and/or race entirely new events.

Scarpill, who earlier in the week was named to the A-10 Indoor Track and Field Rookie Team in the mile after leading all freshman performers in the event with a time of 4:16.32, crushed his season-best time in 4:14.46 on Saturday evening. The performance earned the freshman fifth place in a field of 28 and qualified him for his first collegiate IC4A meet, finishing .04 seconds under the qualifying standard (4:14.50).

In the first 1000m race of his career, Crilly came away with the title in a field of eight, clocking in with a time of 2:28.79 and missing IC4A qualification in the event by just .29 seconds. The individual win marks Crilly's second of the season, having also won the 3k title at Monmouth in late January.

Sophomore John Walker followed closely behind Crilly in 2:29.40, taking second place in his first collegiate 1000m race.

In just his second collegiate 500m race and first since December 2 of this season, sophomore Aaron Lemma clocked in with a time of 1:05.55 to place third in a field of 10, missing IC4A qualification (1:05.20) by just .35 seconds.

Colin Gallagher ended his indoor season on a high note by setting a new collegiate-best time in the 3000m; the sophomore clocked in with a time of 8:44.52 to place fifth in a field of 31. Gallagher raced the 3k five times this season and improved his time in every race, dropping his 8:44.52 after beginning the season with a 9:03.43.

Junior Justin Branco finished slightly behind Scarpill with a sixth-place showing in the mile, clocking in with a collegiate-best time of 4:15.68 to miss IC4A qualification by just 1.18 seconds.

Freshman Stephen McClellan earned a ninth-place finish in a field of 32 in the 800m, registering a collegiate-best time of 1:55.91; McClellan missed IC4A qualification (1:54.50) by just 1.41 seconds.

Sophomore Colin Parker finished just behind McClellan in 1:55.94 to place 10th in his first 800m race of the season.

Sophomore David Bryant went 52.24 for his first collegiate 400m to place 11th in a field of 23.

Select Hawks will return to action at the 2018 IC4A Indoor Track and Field Championships from March 2-4, to be held at Boston University's Track and Tennis Center. Qualifiers include 400m racer senior David Henderson, the 500m trio of senior Kenny Evely, McClellan, and sophomore Trae' Robinson, the 800m trio of seniors Steve Thompson and Dan Ferraiolo and junior Dylan Eddinger, the 1000m duo of Eddinger and sophomore Zach Michon, milers Michon, Crilly, and Scarpill (qualified today), and 3000m qualifier Michon as well as all three of SJU's relays.
