GREENSBORO, N.C. – LIU Brooklyn track and field freshman Mica-Jonathan Petit-Homme qualified for the quarterfinals of the 400-meter hurdles on Friday, May 24, as the Blackbirds wrapped up the first day of the three-day NCAA East Regionals on Thursday, held on the campus of North Carolina A&T. 
 
Day One
Petit-Homme completed the 400-meter hurdles with a preliminary time of 51.90, which was good enough for 15th out of 48 competitors. The time, which was over half a second better than the personal-best time of 52.43 he set at the Northeast Conference meet, qualifies him to compete in the quarterfinals on Friday.
