ROCHESTER, N.Y. (April 18, 2007) -- The weather finally cooperated for the Nazareth track and field teams to resume their seasons at the Alumni Invitational Wednesday at the University of Rochester's Fauver Stadium.

No team scoring was kept, but the Golden Flyers had some strong individual performances, noteably by junior Nick Stenuf, who broke his own Nazareth outdoor mark in the 1,500-meter run with a first-place time of 3:57.14.

Nazareth also got first-place finishes from sophomore Brandon Wheeler in the 400-meter dash (:49.52) and from sophomore Robby Castor (pictured) in the 800-meter run (1:58.52). Wheeler also placed second in the 400-meter hurdles (:59.29) and freshman Matt Case placed sixth and eighth respectively in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.

In the women's meet, freshman Jenna Porter set records in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. She placed third in both events with times of :13.26 and :27.27.

Sophomore Lauren Glaser was third in the 400-meter dash (1:01.19); junior Jessica Brown was eighth in the 800-meter run (2:30.92) and freshman Melissa Cutcliffe was seventh in the 100-meter hurdles (:17.90).
