Last Time Out

The Bison participated in two meets last weekend, hosting the Bison Open and Multi while another set of athletes attended the Penn State National Open.
Against stiff competition at Penn State, there were several impressive performances.
Sean Conway recorded the highest individual finish of the day for the men, finishing sixth in the 600 with a time of 1:20.66.
Owen Chase and Nick Pacelli each finished in the top ten in the 1000, with Chase earning a personal- best in the process. Chase's time of 2:31.42 was over three seconds faster than his 2:34.13 that he ran at the Gulden Invitational on Jan. 19. Chase was seventh in the event, while Pacelli was close behind in ninth place coming in at 2:33.35.
Owen Concaugh rounded out the top-ten finishes for the Bison on Saturday, finishing seventh in a personal-best time of 1:55.21. Brett Zatlin finished 12^th in the event after crossing the line at 1:55.98, eclipsing his previous personal-best by .01.
In the field, Matt Fay and Nicholas Marino took fourth and fifth, respectively, in the pole vault. Fay tied his personal-best after clearing 16-4 ¾, the second-highest mark in school history.
Fay earned his second Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week award for his efforts at the Penn State National Open.
Reggie Harris qualified for finals in the triple jump, posting a 46-10 ¼ in the triple jump to earn a fifth place finish.
Jeff Brown qualified for the semifinals in the 60, running a 6.88 in the first round before running a 6.93 in the semis to just miss a spot in the finals. Brown would also return to Lewisburg on Saturday to claim a win in the 60 (6.89).
At the Bison Open, Billy Melchionni earned a second-place finish in the 200 after running a 22.56, while Matthew Barton finished third in the 60 hurdles after crossing the line at 8.42.
Carson Etnyre finished third in the 500 with a 1:06.33, while Michael Gertz finished third in the 800 after running a 2:00.01.
