Kevin Raymond won two events and posted his second NCAA qualifying time of the indoor season in the 60 meter dash at the Penn State Relays in State College.

Raymond had a school-record time of 6.85 in the 60 to provisionally qualify for nationals and come within .10 of an automatic berth. He also had a winning time of 21.82 in the 200 meters after previously qualified for nationals in that event with a time of 21.67 at Kent State in December.

Raymond was an outdoor All-American last season with a fifth place finish in the 400 meters.

In the women's meet, Tamika Taylor joined three runners each from Penn State and Rutgers and one from St. Joseph's in qualifying for the finals of the 60. Her time of 7.89 was tied for the fifth fastest time in the prelims but a shoulder injury kept her from running in the finals.

Both IUP teams will compete next Saturday at the Doug Raymond Invitational hosted by Kent State.
