Following a record-breaking afternoon on Friday, the Syracuse track & field team continued its successful weekend at the Penn State National Invitational, Boston University Terrier Invitational, and the Colgate Class of '32 Invitational.

Jaquan Holland and Darryl White ran neck and neck in the preliminaries of the 60-meter dash, each finishing with a time of 6.88 seconds to reach semifinal action. Holland would also compete in the 200-meter dash, finishing seventh (22.09).
In the field, Frank Taylor finished second in the long jump with a BIG EAST qualifying leap of 7.32-meters.
In Boston, freshman Ryan Urie qualified for the conference championships with a third place finish in the 1000-meter run at 2:25.83, and will be joined by teammates Andrew Nelson and Justin Murray after their 4:13.27 and 4:18.57 finishes in the mile run, respectively.
