PRINCETON, N.J. – Closing out the regular season, the Princeton men's track and field team will head to Philadelphia and Boston once more for the Philadelphia Metro Meet and the BU Terrier DMR Challenge.
Last Time Out
- Last weekend, the Tigers split up to compete in the BC Eagle Elite Invitational and the BU Valentine Invitational in Boston. Part of the squad also traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas for the Tyson Invitational.
- At the BU Valentine Invite on Friday, Harrison Witt ran a blazing 3:52.87 in the mile to set, crushing his own Ivy League and Princeton record of 3:56.12 set just weeks ago at the Penn 10 Elite meet. His time currently ranks 11th in the NCAA, and it improved upon his own personal record by nearly four seconds.
- For his efforts, Witt was named Ivy League Athlete of the Week on Tuesday - the first league weekly award of his career.
- Just behind Witt in the mile, Connor McCormick also bested his own second-best time in Princeton history with a new personal best of 3:56.40.
- At the Tyson Invitational, Jon York, Joey Gant, Karl Dietz and Xavier Donaldson set a new school record in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:07.16. The performance broke the previous Princeton record of 3:08.14, set by Gant, Jackson Clarke, Dietz and Donaldson recently at the Penn 10 Elite meet. The time is also set a new NCAA #28.
- In the 3000m, Jacob Nenow earned himself the fourth-best spot in the Princeton record books with a time of 7:55.55. Myles Hogan also landed in the school top-10 with a time of 7:57.26 for eighth all-time.
- Casey Helm also had a huge performance in the shot put, throwing a new personal best of 18.56m/60-10.75 for sixth all-time in the Princeton records.
