Delaware State freshman Nathanael Guy (Dover) took first place in the 800-meter run, while senior Tre Johnson (Smyrna) was tops among collegiate competitors in the triple jump at the season-opening Liberty Elite Invitational indoor meet.

Guy, the state indoor 800-meter champion as a senior at Dover, made his first collegiate 800 race a memorable one. He topped the field with a time of 1:56.91, more than a second ahead of second-place finisher Mason Bhatia, a senior from UNC Charlotte (1:57.98). His 800 time is also No. 1 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference so far this season.

Guy also ran the third leg on Delaware State’s second-place 1,600-meter relay team, joining Julian Brown, Thomas Kalieta and Malachi Little to post a time of 3:19.67, just behind first-place Charlotte (3:19.25).

Johnson had the best performance among collegians in the triple jump with a top leap of 14.71 meters (48-03.25).

DSU freshman Kyra Lyles took second place in the women’s 400-meter dash (58.24) at the Liberty meet.
