YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Two members of the Allegheny College men's track and field team represented the Gators at the season-opening YSU Icebreaker, hosted by the Youngstown State University Penguins at the Watson and Tressel Training Site on Friday.

First-year sprinter Orion Greico (Spencerport, N.Y./Spencerport) made his collegiate debut on the track by running the 60- and 200-meter dashes. In the 60-meter qualifying race, he clocked in at 7.96 seconds. In the 200, Greico placed 76th with a time of 25.70 seconds.

Senior Jacob King (Latrobe, Pa./Greater Latrobe) had success in the throws despite facing a deep field that consisted of several Division I, II, and III teams. King's third attempt at the weight throw was his best and earned him a 10th-place finish at 14.80 meters. He also placed 19th out of 60 throwers in the weight throw at 12.67 meters.
