LAST TIME OUT
The Tribe had a pair of standout performances at the Penn State National Open, both from freshman.

Finn Middleton broke his own school record in the finals of the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.94, the first ever sub-8.00 60m hurdles time in school history.

In the shot put, Uriah Harris secured a personal-best for the third week in a row, delivering a throw of 17.97m (58' 11.5"). It remains the third-best performance in program history and the best ever for a Tribe freshman as Harris continues to pace the CAA.

Harris was named the CAA Men's Field Athlete of the Week for his performance, marking the second straight week a Tribe athlete has earned weekly conference honors (Elizabeth Strobach, Jan. 27).
