NEW YORK, N.Y. --- Senior Timothy Layng of the Moravian College men's indoor track & field team placed seventh in the pole vault "College" at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational in the New York City Armory.

Layng cleared 4.90 meters (16 feet, 3/4 inch) to equal his own school record set a week ago.  The height is also an ECAC qualifying height and is tied for fifth on the Track & Field Results Reporting System (TFRRS) list to compete at the 2012 NCAA Division III National Championships.  Layng was seventh of 13 competitors in the college flight that cleared a height, and he was just one of two non-NCAA Division I student-athletes in the field.  Layng was also one of four competitors to to clear 4.90 meters but the placing was based on the number of jumps.
