KENT, Ohio – Allegheny men's track & field paid a visit to the Kent State Field house on Saturday where they hoped to deliver a final statement ahead of next week's conference championships. Led by some strong performances from their distance contingent, the Gators delivered a solid effort in the non-scoring meet.

Fellow junior Bobby Over set another personal record in the mile, completing the circuit in 4:16.93 while closing seventh among collegiate runners in a race loaded with professional talent.

In the 3,000m, the Gators received a pair of solid marks. Senior Pat McLaughlin finished 19th overall with a time of 8:56.44, while sophomore Jack Denison ran 9:09.41 en route to a 30-second PR.
