DURHAM, NC - The wet weather wasn't enough to slow down the Winston-Salem State Rams, Saturday as the team posted some great finishes on day two of the 2008 Duke Asics Invitational. The Rams sprinters dug deep to post some top times at the event, which featured a field of over 1,900 athletes.
WSSU junior Gerrod Sidbury had the best individual finish of the day, placing ninth in the men's 400m dash with a time of 48.63 in the event. Junior Richard Marcellus had a pair of great performances placing 23rd in the men's 100m dash in a time of 11.36. He was also solid in the men's 200m dash, placing 33rd in a time of 22.71.
The Rams relay teams were also strong, placing 11th in the men's 4x100m relay in a time of 43.81. The relay team returned to take part in the men's 4x400m relay, placing 6th in the event in a time of 3:20.93.
