PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men's track and field team is set for a slate of competitions on the road this weekend. The bulk of the squad will be visiting neighbors UPenn in Philadelphia for the Penn Classic on Saturday, February 8th.

On Friday, February 7th, the Tiger throwers will also begin competition down in Virginia Beach with the East Coast Invitational, continuing with the event on Saturday.

Additionally, Greg Foster was invited to compete in the prestigious Millrose Games in the 60m hurdles.

Last Time Out

The Tigers last competed at the Penn 10 Elite on January 25th, again in Philadelphia.
Harrison Witt ran a 3:56.12 mile, setting a new Princeton record and a new Ivy league record while breaking the previous record of 3:56.63 set by Harvard's Graham Blanks in 2023. His time is currently ranked 32nd nationally.
Less than a second behind Witt was Connor McCormick, who clocked in at 3:56.47, also under the previous league and Princeton records. He comes in at 35th on the current NCAA list.
In the 4x400, the Tigers stunned as Joey Gant, Karl Dietz, Jackson Clarke and Xavier Donaldson ran a time of 3:08.14. Donaldson ran a fast anchor leg of 45.99 to help Princeton to a new rank of then-11th nationally. Their time also set a new Princeton record, breaking the previous record of 3:09.35, set in 2011 by Eddy '11, Hopkins '14, Dinkins '13 and Hollimon '12.
Rodman took first place in the 800m with a time of 1:48.91, earning him a new then-tenth spot on the NCAA qualifying list with his best time in the event so far this season.
