Â
THE FINISH LINE
- Stahl led a trio of Osprey PR performances in the Mile racing a time of 4:07.53 to finish runner-up in the event. His time marked a nine second improvement on his previous best time. Freshman Noah Perkins (4:16.40) made his debut in the event while fellow freshman Sem Sultanov (4:24.15) clocked his collegiate best time.
- Standout Nick Morken led a sweep of the top 4 spots in the 800m, posting a time of 1:54.04. Constantine Stathis (1:54.66), Chris Robin (1:55.10) and Cristian Acuna (1:55.42) all had personal best times in following Morken to the finish line. Rayford James and McKenna Lasher also finished in the Top 10 for the event.
- Fynn Timm ran a PR 8:32.14 to finish 3rd in the 3000m
- Desmond Robb was close to posting a pair of personal bests in the 200m and 400m

ON THE FIELD

QUOTABLE...
"We had some strong performances in several events. Tyler Stahl ran a very impressive race in the Mile and recorded a strong personal best. The 800m group ran a strong race as did the 3000m guys. Desmond Robb had another consistent meet, which is what we've come to expect from him. Overall it was a nice meet and a great trip. We are excited and looking forward to competing at the ASUN Championships in a couple weeks." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
UP NEXT:
The North Florida men's track and field team heads to Winston-Salem, N.C. for the ASUNÂ Championships on Feb. 23-24 at the JDL Fast Track facility.
