Men run PRs at Atlantic Regional
CANTON, N.Y. -- Lifetime and seasonal best were the order of the day for the Fredonia State men Saturday in the NCAA Atlantic Regional.
The Blue Devils were 20th of 36 teams in the race, run over the 8,000-meter St. Lawrence University Hoffman course.
Sophomore Jason Smith (Queensbury/Queensbury) and sophomore Kevin Buzzelli (Grand Island/Grand Island) were Fredonia State's top two finishers. Each had a personal-best time -- Smith in 27:21.2, Buzzelli in 27:27.2. Rounding out Fredonia State's top five were senior Chris Mills (Auburn/Auburn) in 27:32.6, junior Jerome Evans (Rochester/Greece Olympia) in 27:38.4, and junior David Mink (Rensselaer/Columbia) in 28:07.7. Freshman Robert Miller (Islip/Central Islip) was sixth for the Devils in 29:05.2, while senior Chris Johnson (Silver Creek/Silver Creek) was seventh in a lifetime-best 29:22.4. It was Johnson's final collegiate competition since he is eligible to graduate in December. The Blue Devils were without No. 1 runner freshman Michael Pond (Somers/Somers), who missed the race because of an academic commitment. The meet completes the Blue Devils' season under first-year coach Nolan Swanson.Athletics Home | Fredonia Home
