Mortensen, 4x400 lead Saints men's track on Day 1 at Cortland

Posted

Patrick Mortensen finished third in the 5,000-meter run, and the 4x400 relay finished in second place to pace the St. Lawrence University men's outdoor track and field team on the first day of competition at the Cortland Classic hosted by SUNY Cortland on Friday afternoon.

Mortensen finished with a personal-best time of 15 minutes, 30.11 seconds, eight seconds faster than his previous best time.

The 4x400 relay of Miles Wilson, Robert Mackenzie, Cameron Warren and Elijah Wickland Shearer dropped more than seven seconds off the Saints' best time this season, finishing in 3:26.44, just over three seconds behind SUNY Cortland.

Kevin Danaher finished sixth in a very competitive field in the hammer throw. His mark of 47.72 meters was a 77-centimeter improvement over his previous best performance in the event and earned Danaher a spot at the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference Championships.

Ian Clough posted the second-fastest time in qualifying heats in the 100, while Noah Garfield qualified for the finals in the 110 hurdles. Connor Lambert will enter day two of competition in the decathlon in third place, 369 points behind the leader. He posted the fastest time in the 400, finishing in 51.79 seconds to score 734 of his 3,053 points.

No team scores are being kept at the meet, which will conclude on Saturday.
