WALNUT, Calif. -- Freshman Jeff Porter (Somerset, N.J./Franklin HS) and junior Nathan Taylor (Courtenay, B.C./Georges P. Vanier HS), members of the University of Michigan men's track and field team, competed at the Mt. SAC Relays on Sunday (April 18).
Porter registered an 11th-place finish among the 30-man field in the 110-meter hurdles, clocking a time of 14.33 seconds, his second regional qualifying time of the season in the event. The Wolverine freshman tied for 11th with Air Force's Sean Temple and finished just 0.02 seconds out of the top 10.
Taylor recorded a time of 10.86 in the 100-meter dash, finishing fifth in his heat and 31st overall in the 49-man field. Taylor needs to shave 0.36 seconds from his time to hit the regional qualifying standard of 10.50.
Both Wolverine student-athletes will join the Wolverine squad next Thursday through Saturday (April 22-24) at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pa.
