Cats in Action at 25th New Jersey International Invitational


On Saturday June 18th at Holmdel high school in New Jersey, several Villanovans competed in the 25th New Jersey International Invitational track and field meet. Shericka Ward won the final of the 100 meter hurdles over former UConn Husky April Garner. In the women's mile, Carmen Douma-Hussar defeated recent Fordham graduate Melissa Salerno. The men's 1500 meters pitted two Australian NCAA All-Americans against one another in a solid field of milers. Penn State's Ryan Foster evened-up his career record against Matt Gibney 2-2 in winning the race in 3:42.71 to Gibney's 3:43.01. By the way, Foster and Gibney were Australia's only track and field Academic All-Americans this year.

Was that Villanova's Mike Brown (Big East 400H champion from 2000) in the 800 meters (running 1:54.50)?
