Three School Records Fall at Ocean Breeze

The Muhlenberg men's track and field team broke three school records at the Fastrack National Invite, held at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island.

Junior Christopher Short contributed to two of the records, including one in the final event of the meet. Short ran the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay team that finished in 3:22.30, smashing the previous mark of 3:23.73 that had stood since 2012. He split a blistering 48.36, passing three competitors and earning a spot in the record book along with his relay-mates, freshman Kadon Harris and juniors Sultan Almosbeh and David Seel.

Short also broke his own school record in the 200, lowering his time from 22.17 to 22.14, and has now set three school records in the last two weeks.

Sophomore Sean McNeil also broke his own record, triple jumping 47-3¼ to place fifth. He set the old standard of 47-2½ two weeks ago.

Harris (pictured above right) also had a big day in the field, winning the high jump by clearing 6-4¾. That tied him for third place on the Mules' all-time performance list. Entering the weekend, no one in the Centennial Conference had a better mark this season.

Other meet highlights:

• Muhlenberg's entire men's 200 contingent achieved personal bests. In addition to short breaking his record, Almosbeh and junior Isaac Schaffer-Neitz ran indoor PRs, while sophomore James Williams and freshmen Malachi Peters and Gabriel Alves also clocked in with personal bests. Williams set a PR for the second week in a row.

• Junior Raam Ravishankar finished the mile in 4:23.59, lowering his previous best by almost three full seconds.

• The biggest PR was by junior Maggie Holderith in the 5000 meters. She finished in 19:22.45, a big improvement from her previous top time of 19:46.98.

• Sophomore Kelly Stephen topped 40 feet in the weight throw for the first time, throwing 40-1 to improve on her prior best mark of 38-5½.

• Sophomore Ella Sarnitsky moved her personal best in the pole vault up from 9-5 to 9-6¼.

• Junior Ella Borello set a personal best in the mile, while senior Katie Shepard (pictured above left) notched an indoor PR in the 800.
