LUBBOCK, Texas – Calvary Rogers, of the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team, toppled the 14-year old program record in the 200m by almost two tenths when he crossed the line in 21.05 on Saturday at the Texas Tech Shootout. Sophomore Marvin Morgan wasn't far behind, finishing in 21.46 to move into third all-time and was one of five Quakers to unleash performances worthy of the top-10 all-time.
For the second week in a row, Nathan Fisher raised his PR and, on Friday, set the second-best pole vault mark in program history by clearing 5.28m (17-3.75). His performance placed him third at the Texas Tech Shootout.
Closer to home, at the FastTrack National Invitational in Staten Island, N.Y., a pair of freshman impressed in the 1000m by setting the fifth- and ninth-best times in program history. Ray Sellaro finished fourth in the race, finishing in 2:25.79 to move into fifth all-time and Mason Gatewood crossed in 2:26.08, the ninth-best. Also, Cameron Landis won the shot put top flight with a massive toss of 16.57m.
Also in Texas, Penn's 4x400m relay team of Anthony Okolo, Evan Lee, Ryan Bender and Rogers finished seventh with a time of 3:13.89, one of the best five times ever.
Senior Colin Daly competed in the men's mile at the prestigious Millrose Games, the world's longest-running indoor track & field competitions. He crossed the line in 4:03.82 to finish seventh.
