Junior
Lebanon, Pa. / Cedar Crest
At the SU Mid-Week Invitational on Thursday, Lewis broke the all-time PSAC record in the 100 meters with a time of 10.03 seconds that is currently the fastest in NCAA Division II this season. It was achieved with a legal 1.9 wind reading. He entered the day already holding Shippensburg's school record (10.31 seconds), but he exceeded that record and then some with his virtuoso performance. His .28-second improvement well surpasses the all-time PSAC record set last season by Slippery Rock's Kanye Thompson, who ran 10.15 seconds. At the time (Thursday night), Lewis had the No. 2 time in the 100 meters in all divisions of the NCAA. As of Sunday afternoon (April 19), Lewis's time is currently No. 9 spanning all NCAA Divisions – it leads all of NCAA Division II and is faster than any time in NCAA Division III as well. This weekend, seven D-1 performances were timed at 10.01 seconds or faster (three at the Mt. Sac Relays, four at Florida's Tom Jones Memorial). Penn State's Ajani Dwyer ran 9.96 seconds on March 27 at UCF.

Freshman
Mechanicsburg, Pa. / Cumberland Valley
At the SU Mid-Week Invitational on Thursday, Green broke the all-time PSAC record in the 200 meters with a time of 20.89 seconds and then ran the second-fastest time in school history in the 100 meters by running 10.28 seconds. Green’s conference record in the 200 was also achieved with a legal 1.9 wind reading. His day began with the 100 meters. Running in the same heat in which Gabriel Lewis (co-nominee) broke the all-time PSAC record, Green broke Lewis's old 100-meter school record by running 10.28 seconds. It was just the second time in college that Green had run an individual 100-meter dash. It was an improvement of .27 seconds from his first go-around two weeks ago at George Mason. But Green wasn't done. In his second race of the day, Green grabbed sole possession of the PSAC’s 200-meter record by improving his PR to 20.89 seconds. It took Green just four collegiate meets to become the fastest 200-meter runner in the history of the PSAC. The performance moves him out of the tie with Mansfield's Cahsid Raymond that he achieved four days earlier (last Sunday) at Bucknell. Green moved all the way up to 12th on the NCAA Division II leaderboard in the 100 meters and currently sits 14th on the NCAA Division II performance list for the 200 meters with his conference record, giving him two Top 15 national marks in the span of three hours.
