STANFORD, Calif., ITHACA, N.Y. & PRINCETON, N.J.—The Syracuse track and field team finished competition at three meets this weekend with the distance and middle distance squad splitting between the Stanford Payton Jordan Invitational and the Cornell Outdoor Invitational and the sprinters heading to Princeton for their Elite Meet.
Twelve Syracuse runners set personal records across the three meets and two took first place at Princeton Elite.
Donald Pollitt took gold in the 110-meter hurdles at Princeton, finishing in 13.80 seconds. Rebecca Robinson also won her event, setting a new personal standard of 53.40 in the 400-meter dash, missing the school record by eight-hundredths of a second.
At the same meet, freshman Reggie Morton had a second-place finish in the long jump with a mark of 7.16 meters and both Ashley Keyes and Jaquan Holland finished third in the 100-meter dash.
