Collegeville, PA (April 5)-  The FDU-Florham Men's Track and Field team was prepared to go the distance when partaking in the Ursinus Track & Field festival, and completed their vision with three more program records.
 
First year Richie Welton (Middletown, NJ) started the 100m dash and the meet for the Devils with a time of 11.86 for 40th overall. Taking a placement of 54th overall was Navir Gandy as his first event for the Devils resulted in a time of 12.08. Francisco Tanez (West Orange, NJ) was the one to close the event as he clocked a 12.31 for 62nd place.
 
Crossing the line first in the 200m dash was Nathaniel Evely (Bogota, NJ), whose time placed him at the top of the records books for a new school record (23.00, 23rd overall) Next across the line was Lucas Sorrentino (Staten Island, NY) who took 56th overall (24.36) and Welton followed for 58th overall (24.58).
 
Sorrentino was one of two Devils to participate in the 400m as he finished with a time of 53.59 and 31st overall, as Nathaniel Perrelli (Fanwood, NJ) followed just behind for a time of 55.42, taking 46th fastest time in the event.
 
Putting forth their best effort in the 400m hurdles was Shane Breedlove (Richmond, VA)  and Norbert Martinez (Roxbury, NJ). They were both seen improving their times from the previous meet by crossing the line for times of 1:02.84 (19th overall) and 1:09.92 (25th overall).

Burcat led the next distance event, 1500m, with a time of 4:48.76, which placed him as the fourth-best time ever recorded in program history. Evan McGinnity was seen behind in 18th place with a time of 17:05.69.
 
One of the final individual track events for FDU was the 5000m, as Emmanuel Torode (Roxbury, NJ) set the third record of the day with a time of 16:41.91, 20 seconds faster than the previous record. McGinnity also participated in the event and crossed the line with a placement of 18th overall (17:05.69).
 
The final track event for FDU-Florham as a whole was the 4x100m Relay and 4x400m Relay. The 100m relay gave a better showing as the result placed them 14th overall with a time of 45.01. The 4x400m team finished with a time of 3:48.54 for 23rd in the meet.
