Freshman Dakota Peachee led the High Point University men's track & field team with a runner-up finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Georgia Tech Invitational on Friday in Atlanta, Ga. His time of 8:59.62 was an HPU record.

“Dakota had a great race, it was a huge breakthrough,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. “The leader set a fast pace and Dakota was able to work his way through the field to finish second. Jevin Monds also had a nice personal record in the 1,500, he was working toward that all season.”

Peachee became the first HPU runner to break 9:00 in the steeplechase. The previous record was 9:02.09 set by Anthony Berkis last year. Peachee crushed his previous best of 9:25.38 at the Big South Championship in April, which was his debut in that event. Peachee will likely qualify for the first round of the NCAA Championship with that performance.

Senior Josh Morgan took 18th in the 1,500-meter in a time of 3:47.54 and junior Jevin Monds finished 22nd in a career-best 3:48.48. Morgan's time was just off his career best of 3:46.13 set at UNC earlier this season, while Monds beat his previous best of 3:50.88 from a year ago.

Also on Friday, freshman Josh Pelletier took 11th in the javelin with a throw of 195-11 (59.73m).

On Saturday, Morgan finished fifth in his heat and 17th overall in the 800-meter with a time of 1:51.71.
