Men’s Track and Field With Strong Showing Against Strong Field at West Point Twilight

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Joseph Perriello set a personal-best and an all-time program Top 10 mark in the 110-meter hurdles and Cooper Kinsley set a personal-best in the shot put, falling less than one inch short of an all-time program Top 10 mark for the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s track and field team Thursday evening at the West Point Twilight event.

The first-year Perriello posted a time of 15.97 seconds in the 110 hurdles, shaving one-tenth of a second off his previous personal-best set last weekend at the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Outdoor Championships, becoming just the 10^th man in program history to run under 16 seconds in the event.

The junior Kinsley finished Thursday with a top throw of 41 feet, 3.75 inches with 41 feet, four inches currently serving as the 10^th-best mark in outdoor program history.

 

In addition to various D-3 teams like Rowan, Rutgers-Newark, Farmingdale State, Merchant Marine, Mount St. Mary, the event featured such D-1 and D-2’s as UAlbany, Hofstra, Fordham, Colgate, Lafayette, Vermont, American International College, Adelphi, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the host Black Knights, with the Ducks holding their own in several events.

Ryan Paradine ran 1:59.24 in the 800m — besting runners from American International and Fordham –, Connor Robinson ran 58.37 in the 400m hurdles – besting an Adelphi competitor –, William Ladd cleared 1.86 meters in the high jump – tying two Army-West Point athletes –, and Braedan Joyce topped out in the javelin throw at 141 feet, four inches – four feet clear of another Army-West Point competitor.
