BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Adoniss Jones, Campbell track & field's first national semifinalist since 2007, will continue his all-American bid Thursday, when he lines up in the men's 110 meter hurdles at the NCAA Track & Field National Championships in Eugene, Ore.

Jones will compete for all-American status and a spot in the national finals at 5:35 p.m. on Thursday at historic Hayward Field. With a top-eight finish, Jones could earn all-American honors.

After watching the evening's first two 110 meter hurdle heats at the North Carolina A&T Irwin Belk Track, Jones notched a time of 13.88, finishing sixth in his individual section, but qualifying Jones 12^th overall, edging Virginia's Adams Abdulrazaaq and his mark of 13.91.

The third heat proved to be the fastest of the night, with six of the eight competitors advancing to Nationals. Jones finished just ahead of East Tennessee State's Michael James, who took seventh in the individual heat with a mark of 14.11. James finished 20^th overall.

The top three finishers in each heat claimed the initial nine places in Eugene, with the next best three overall times punching their tickets as well.

Johnny Dutch of South Carolina finished with the 110 meter hurdles regional crown, recording a blistering time of 13.53. Army's Domonick Sylve took Jones' heat with a time of 13.67. The pair will be seeded third and 10^th, respectively among the event's 24 qualifiers. Jones is ranked 24^th in the field. Oklahoma junior Ronnie Ash leads the group with a time of 13.37.
