NEW YORK, N.Y. — Cornell men's indoor track and field capped competition Sunday at the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at The Armory Track, finishing fourth overall with 65 team points.
Princeton claimed the team title, followed by Penn and Harvard, with Cornell placing ahead of Dartmouth, Columbia, Yale and Brown.
The highlight of the day came in the distance medley relay, where the quartet of Tyler Canaday, Edgar Thielens, Tyler Tisinger and Pierre Attiogbe captured the Ivy crown in 9:41.01. Leg splits were 3:01.6, 48.7, 1:50.5, and 4:00.2. Cornell had the fastest splits of the field in the final two legs and ran away with the title, winning by a six-second margin. This feat set a new meet record, stands as a season best for the Big Red and currently ranks No. 25 in NCAA Division I.
