HIGHLANDER INVITATIONAL -- FULL RESULTS

HOUGHTON, N.Y. - The Daemen College men's track and field team took part in the Highlander Invitational this evening. The event was hosted by Houghton College. It marks the fourth-straight year Daemen has taken part in the event.

First-place finishes by junior Rodney Corbin (Buffalo, N.Y.) and senior Sullivan Keller (Alden, N.Y.) highlighted the evening for the Wildcats.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Corbin once again shined at this event, as he placed first in the 60 meter dash for the third-straight year. He posted a time of 7.03 this year and placed first out of eight runners. He also placed second in the 200 meter dash with a time of 23.24. He made his collegiate debut at this event three years ago and took first place in the 60 meter dash with a school-record time of 7.01. He repeated his first-place showing in the 60 meters last year with a time of 7.02. His first place finish in the 60 meters tonight marks the eighth time over his three-year career he has placed first in that event.
• The 300 meter dash featured two Daemen runners, as freshman Clarence Denis placed third (44.25) and redshirt freshman Mason Storm (South Bristol, N.Y.) finished fourth (45.06).
• Freshman Dominic Clementi (Barker, N.Y.) was the lone Daemen runner in the 600 meter run and he placed third with a time of 1:35.68.
• Freshmen John Bruggman (Batavia, N.Y.) took part in both the 800 meter run and the mile run. He placed 15th in the 800 (2:14.12) and 18th in the mile (4:49.88).
• The 3,000 meter run featured senior Josh Bodnar (Filmore, N.Y.),  and freshmen Aidan Van Slycke (Irving, N.Y.) and Alexander Reynolds (Olean, N.Y.). Bodnar finished seventh (10:01.63), Van Slycke placed ninth (10:13.76) and Reynolds placed 12th (11:02.07).
• Keller once again turned in solid showings in both the shot put and the weight throw. He placed first out of 11 competitors in the shot put with a toss of 14.52 meters. It marks the second-straight event that he has placed first in the shot put, as he took home first-place honors at the RIT Invitational last weekend with a throw of 14.52. Last week marked first time over his storied four-year career that he posted a first-place showing in the shot put during an indoor event. He went on to place second in the weight throw tonight with a toss of 13.55 meters. Redshirt sophomore Christopher Labonte (Pendleton, N.Y.) also took part in the shot put and placed 10th (7.97 m).
