LEXINGTON, Va. – The Ursinus Indoor Men's Track & Field team wrapped up its two-day competition at the VMI Winter Classic on Saturday by setting two new school records and one Centennial Conference record in the process.
The 4x400 relay team of senior Tyler Reilly, junior Daniel Tabor, sophomore Collin Ney, and junior Payton Stanziani registered a time of 3:19.36 to set both a new school record and Centennial Conference record. The school record was previously set in 2016 on a time of 3:20.91 while the Centennial mark was set in 1996 by Haverford with a time of 3:19.99. Reilly was not done breaking records on the day as he topped the Ursinus 200-meter dash record with a time of 22.44, topping the previous mark of 22.45 set by former Bear Brandon Evans in 2012. Reilly has now set two indoor school records this season after setting the 300-meter dash record in Lancaster two weeks ago.
