Ryder King was named Ivy League Co-Athlete of the Week after delivering a standout performance for the Cornell University men’s track and field team at the Penn Relays on Saturday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, highlighting a strong showing in one of the nation’s premier meets. King’s result marked a significant milestone in his senior season.
Competing in the championship section of the 400-meter hurdles, King placed fourth with a personal-best time of 50.72 seconds. The mark moved him to No. 2 all-time in Cornell program history and currently ranks among the top performances in the Ivy League this season. His performance came against a highly competitive field and underscored his consistency at a national level.
King has emerged as one of Cornell’s top performers this season, building momentum with steady improvements across the hurdles events. His latest result adds to a campaign that has positioned him among the Ivy League’s elite, while also climbing the program’s all-time lists.
The recognition reflects both his individual achievement and his continued impact on the Big Red’s track and field program during his senior year.
Cornell returns to competition this weekend at the Larry Ellis Invitational in Princeton, New Jersey, as King looks to build on his momentum heading into the final stretch of the outdoor season.
