RALEIGH, N.C. – A small group of distance runners from the Yale men's track and field team took center stage on Thursday at the Raleigh Relays, with a total of six entries across a pair of events.
Sophomore
Seb Sutch was Yale's top finisher in the 1500m, achieving a personal-best time of 3:49.32. Michigan's Trent McFarland (3:35.80), a former Big Ten champion in that event, placed first.
First-year
Magnus Manley was Yale's top finisher in the 5000m. His time of 14:05.08 moves him into fifth place on Yale's all-time list in his first outdoor race for the Bulldogs.
Senior
Owen Karas doubled up on Thursday, capping his night with a time of 14:07.53 in the 5000m – less than two seconds from his outdoor PR in that event. Karas had run a 3:52.41 in the 1500m earlier in the day.
The Raleigh Relays is a large meet with dozens of schools from throughout the country represented, including Yale's Ivy rivals Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard and Penn. The meet spans three days, though the Bulldog men will only compete Thursday.
On Saturday the Bulldogs will compete at the UMass Flagship Opener.
