Alston leads a group of six NEC freshmen hurdlers who have qualified for the IC4A Championships at the 110m distance. The first-year Blue Devil lowered his seasonal best time to 14.54s while finishing in first place at the UMass Minuteman Invitational. The time moved Alston up to third place overall on the league leader board in what is a talent-rich event for the NEC this season. The Garden State product is tied for the No. 29 spot amongst all IC4A qualifiers.
