BLACKSBURG, Va. – Sophomore Aramis Massenburg (Ettrick, Va.) ran an NCAA provisional qualifying time and set a new school record in the 60-meter hurdles on Friday night as the Spartan men opened their indoor track season at the Virginia Tech Invitational at Rector Field House.

Massenburg clocked a 7.87 to tie Tennessee's Charlton Rolle for first place. That time broke the old NSU record set by Avery Wilson in 2007.
