PRINCETON, N.J. (7/21/10) - Princeton men's tack and field continues to build off of the 2009-10 season with impressive performances this summer.

Callahan recorded a new personal best of 3:45.04 taking down his previous best of 3:46.42 to finish sixth. He was just 2.62 seconds behind the winner Kenyan Caleb Mwangangi Ndiku.
All-America Donn Cabral competed and won the men's steeplechase at the 2010 NACAC U-23 Track & Field Championship in Miramar, Florida.

His win helped Team USA win the medal count with 74 with Canada second with 17 and Mexico third with 13.
The pair will compete for the Tigers as members of the cross country team beginning on September 11 at the Spiked Shoe Invitational.
