He started the day winning the 100m in 11.08 and followed up with a win from the first section of the 400m/49.84, due to a nagging injury that prevented him from posting a qualifying mark. His team was able to come up with enough points to win the meet, in spite of not finishing the 4 X 100m relay, an event they were favored to win!  Kungu(c) wins 100m. Napoleon Hernandez, a sophomore from Tatnall came up with 2 wins. Friday evening, he anchored the winning 4 x 800m relay.
