PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton men’s track and field team will split for two meets with the Penn Relays in Philadelphia and the TCNJ Lions Invite in Ewing, N.J. this weekend. 

 

Princeton is coming off a strong performance at the Virginia Challenge, in which Greg Foster won the long jump with a new personal best mark of 8.11m/26-7.25″ (+4.1). His mark currently ranks second in the nation.

For his efforts, Foster was named Ivy Athlete of the Week on Tuesday. 

 

Myles Hogan had a podium finish in the 5000, running a personal best 13:37.56 for third at the meet and third all-time in the Princeton record book.

 

Harrison Witt took second in the 1500 invite, clocking in with a personal-best time of 3:40.03.

 

On the NCAA Qualifying list, Casey Helm ranks ninth in the discus with a mark of 61.67m/202′ 4″ from the Monmouth Season Opener.

 

Joe Licata ranks 22nd in the shot put (18.94m/62′ 1.75″), while Seb Clatworthy sits at 24th in the high jump (2.15m/7′ 0.5″). 

 

Princeton is entering the outdoor season after winning its 10th-consecutive indoor and fourth-consecutive cross country title, looking to complete the Triple Crown this Spring. 

 

At last year’s Outdoor Heps, the Tigers achieved their 11th all-time Triple Crown at home in Weaver Stadium, winning Ivy Outdoor Heps for the 22nd time after compiling 204.5 points. The Triple Crown was also the first under Head Coach Jason Vigilante.
