The Cornell men’s outdoor track and field team continued competition at the Penn Relays on Friday in Philadelphia, highlighted by a pair of top-five finishes in the shot put at Franklin Field. Cornell built on its opening-day momentum with another solid showing against elite national competition.
The Big Red were led by senior Joe Seib, who placed third in the shot put with a mark of 17.51 meters. Teammate Noah Harman followed with a fifth-place finish, recording a throw of 17.28 meters to give the Big Red two strong finishes in the event. Seib rebounded after an early foul to deliver consistent throws, while Harman narrowly missed a personal outdoor best.
Seib also competed in the discus earlier in the day, placing 19th with a throw of 48.27 meters. In the javelin, Joe Rachiele matched that placement, finishing 19th with a mark of 55.09 meters.
On the track, Cornell’s 4×100-meter relay team of Garrett Brennan, Ricardo Lagares Jr., Ryder King, and Panashe Nhenga competed in the Championship of America race, posting a time of 40.89 seconds to place 19th against a deep field.
Cornell will wrap up competition at the Penn Relays on Saturday, April 25 at Franklin Field.
