VILLANOVA, Pa. - Tupp Invite Results

It was a productive night for the men's track team at the Tupp Invite at Swarthmore College on Tuesday, May 13. Three athletes posted NCAA qualifying marks and senior Bobby Curtis improved on his time in the 1,500m and now holds the fourth fastest time in the country for a collegiate athlete.

In a time of 3.40.25 Curtis pulled away from the field to run a personal best in the 1,500m. This will place him 24th on the list for the Olympic trials, where the top-30 athletes compete.

Senior Michael Kerrigan ran a time of 3.47.61 in the same race and freshman Carl Mackenzie won the earlier section of the 1,500 meters in a time of 3.47.35. Both were good enough to qualify to the NCAA Regionals held later this month.

The Wildcats will be back on the track to compete in the ECAC Championships in Princeton, N.J. beginning May 16.
