The warm weather and year-round training proved to be too much for Lateisha Philson to pass up.

When the Benjamin Cardozo track star began the recruiting process she said she would narrow things down to a school close to home and one far away. It came down to the University of Albany and Miami and Philson made it official Thursday signing with the Hurricanes, she told The Post. Teammate Alexis Panisse signed with Tennessee.

“I knew the hot weather would allow me to train better,” she said. “The conference is more competition than UAlbany’s conference.”

Lateisha Philson of Cardozo signed with Miami on Thursday.

Philson, one of the city’s top hurdlers and sprinters, had a home visit with Miami around Thanksgiving and visited the ACC school in early December. She enjoyed the team’s family atmosphere and feels head coach Amy Deem can take her to the next level. The senior joked that for her visit she went from the cold of New York City to 75 degrees in Miami. The Florida school also has the academic programs Philson was looking for. She wants to go into forensics or get involved in health care as an optitritian.
