After missing out on a trip to the indoor national meet, senior All-American hurdler Adarius Washington put himself in very good position for a chance at the outdoor championships following a strong weekend at the Raleigh Relays at NC State. On Friday, Washington had the top prelim time at 13.68 – not far off his personal best 13.58 from last season. In finals, Washington improved slightly to 13.67 seconds with a +2.1 wind reading, which currently ranks as the No. 2 time in the NCAA and No. 1 overall in the NCAA East Region this outdoor season – almost assuring him a place at the East Regional meet in May. Washington was also the leadoff leg of ISU's 4x100-meter relay that ran 41.11 – nearly half a second faster than Indiana State's top 4x100 time last season.
