John Vogel also climbed to the top of the league in distance events on Saturday. Edwards finished the 800 in 1:59.11, Ferrante wrapped up the mile in 4:20.59, and Vogel completed the 3000 in 8:46.49. All of those times rank first among conference competitors this year.
In addition to the league-leaders,
Cooper Albright posted a time of 2:00.56 in the 800, while
Brenton Duvall added a 2:02.37 mark. Meanwhile,
Nick Tolarchyk (8:57.99) and

Nathanael Ferrante (4:30.89) excelled in the men's discipline.
As the distance runners were lighting up the track, Reeders continued to star in the triple jump. During the meet, he landed a distance of 13.61 meters, which bested the runner-up by over two feet.
Christopher Newport will return to action on Sunday when the Captains take part in the Richard Drake Invitational at the Virginia Beach Sports Center.
