WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Franklin & Marshall men’s track & field team traveled north in pursuit of national qualifying times at the West Point Twilight Meet on Thursday. Three Diplomats posted top 10 individual finishes at the meet held at Army’s facility.
Zach Houff led Franklin & Marshall on the track as he won his 800 meter heat to finish ninth overall with a time of 1:55.49. That time is just one-hundredth of a second away from a top 10 mark in school history. Owen McCann was 23rd in that same event with a time of 1:59.18.
Dustin Stoetzel had the highest individual finish of the day for the Diplomats as he took seventh in the javelin with his best throw being measured at 51.52 meters. Austin Hadley was 10th in the discus as his best attempt (40.42m) came during his final throw of the meet.
Men’s track & field will now turn its attention to the All-Atlantic Regional Championships. Hosted by Williams College, that championship meet will run from Wednesday, May 14 through Thursday, May 15.
