HOUGHTON, N.Y. – The Daemen University men's track and field team began their indoor season by competing at the Houghton December Classic held at the Kerr-Pegula Field House on the campus of Houghton University.
 
Junior Adam Kamagate (Hilton, N.Y.) broke the school record in the 60 meter hurdle while sophomore Ethan Keating (Wooster, Ohio) turned in a top-three performance in the men's mile highlighted the Wildcats efforts in the season-opening meet.

• Junior Aidan Kincaid (Orchard Park, N.Y.) carried his success over from his cross country season onto the track as he finished eighth in the 5000 meters with a time of 15:56.78. His time also now ranks seventh all-time as well.
