ITHACA, N.Y. – Freshman Zach Buckner and sophomore Kieran Ryan set school records to highlight the day's action for the St. Bonaventure men's track team at the Cornell Invitational.
Buckner crossed the stripe in the 5000 meters with a time of 16:00.28, narrowly besting the mark of 16:00.41 set by Colin McCarthy one week earlier. Buckner finished third overall in the event out of 23 competitors. With that run, he qualifies for A-10 Championships next week.
Ryan set his program record time in the 1000, finishing in 2:37.66. That time bested his previous personal best by nearly three seconds and surpassed the previous top time of 2:38.66 ran by Zane Courtwright at RIT.
Also in the 1000, Darion Gregory ran a PR of 2:42.22, good for third in program history.
In the 400 meters, a pair of Bonnies posted top-10 program times as Owen Noecker ran a mark of 56.91 for third in Bonnies history while Conor Quinn was right behind at 57.01, good for fourth in the program record books.
Wyatt Hulsey moved up to third in the program's 800 meters list with his performance of 2:05.29, better than five seconds faster than his best of the year previously.
Hayden Barry (4:43.93) and James Fitzmaurice (4:46.90) each PR'ed in the mile and now stand sixth and 10th respectively in the record books.
The Bonnies have one indoor meet left on the schedule – a trip to Atlantic 10 Championships next week.                                                                            Â
