AZUSA, Calif.— Colorado Mesa University sprinters Marik Cummings and Gaby Horton both advanced through the rounds and into the finals of the 100-meter dash to highlight the Mavericks' performances on Friday at the Franson Last Chance track & field meet here at Azusa Pacific University's Cougar Stadium.

Two Maverick throwers also won their events at nearby Claremont Mudd-Scripps.

Cummings posted a wind-aided and NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying time of 10.41 seconds in the semifinal round after posting a solid mark of 10.49 in the preliminary heats.  His semifinal time, which qualified him fifth for Saturday's final, is just quicker than teammate Teo Casados' official school record of 10.43 and just off the Mavs' all-conditions program best of 10.37, set by Eliah Williams last year.

Casados and Amaria Mora also reached the semifinals.  Casados finished 11^th in 10.49 seconds while Mora turned in a wind-aided time of 10.71 seconds to place 16th in the semifinals.  Quentin Hartel just missed out on the semifinal, taking 25^th in the preliminary heats with a wind-aided time of 10.80 seconds.

On the women's side, Horton finished seventh in the 100-meter semifinals with a time of 11.55 seconds.  She had run to a mark of 11.60 seconds in the preliminaries.
