Men's Track & Field Posts Numerous PRs, Season Bests at SPIRE

Complete Results

GENEVA, Ohio --
The Allegheny College men's track and field team posted nine personal records and numerous season bests at the 2026 SPIRE Collegiate Indoor Games, hosted by the SPIRE Institute on Saturday.

Facing a competitive field with 21 other colleges and universities, plus several club programs, the Gators earned four top-15 finishes.

On the track, Austin Stewart (Pittsburgh, Pa./Serra Catholic) was among the top 15 in both the 200- and 400-meter sprints. The junior was 13th out of 71 finishers in the 200-meter dash at 22.62 seconds and 11th out of 63 in the 400-meter dash at 50.25 seconds.

Freshman Tyler Biss (Beaver, Pa./Beaver) completed his first 3,000-meter mid-distance race of the season in seventh place out of 32 total competitors. Biss was the only Division III athlete in the top 10; he trailed only runners from D-II Ohio Dominican University, D-I Canisius University and Niagara University, and a handful of track clubs. Biss clocked in at 9:07.69.

Sophomore Cozmo Gallegos (Chino, Calif./Chino) earned Allegheny's best finish with a PR in the triple jump. His first attempt measured 12.32 meters, good enough to secure fourth place behind a D-II jumper from Ashland University and two Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) opponents. Gallegos added 30 centimeters to his performance from last week at Oberlin College with his fourth consecutive top-five finish in the triple jump.
