Western Kentucky's track and field team shined in the short sprints Friday evening as both Emmanuel Dasor (400 meters) and Julius Morris (100) qualified for Nationals at the UK Outdoor Track and Field Complex on Day 2 of the NCAA East Preliminaries.
Morris, who also made the quarterfinals in the 200-meter dash, made the cut in the 100-meter dash by edging out Cravont Charleston of N.C. State (13th place) by .01 seconds to claim 12th. The junior ran his third-fastest time of the season, clocking a 10.40.
In the 200-meter dash, Morris earned the best Hilltopper finish yet at the meet as the junior placed third with a time of 20.
