NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Cornell men's track and field team took the course at The Armory (Columbia University) on Friday and Saturday at the Dr. Sanders Invitational. Freshman distance-runner Pierre Attiogbe took the crown in the mile (4:00.47), and shattered the Cornell freshman record in the meantime nearly pacing his way to sub-four minutes. Shane Racey took the victory in the pole vault.

A handful of Cornellians earned top-five results in their respective events. Justin Wei (60-meter dash - fourth), Tyler Tisinger (800-meter run - fifth), Attiogbe (mile -first), Desmond Whitley (triple jump - fourth), Brad Morell (weight throw - second), and a distance medley relay (third) squad of Pelham Bergesen, Elijah Schecter, Tisinger, and Jake Gelfand were amongst this group.
