Several Men’s Track & Field Athletes Among Top East Region Performers

April 4, 2006

The Clemson men’s track & field team has seven student-athletes that rank in the top 15 of the East Region so far this outdoor season. Two additional student-athletes are also ranked as part of a relay team. The rankings were first released by Trackshark.com on Monday evening.

A pair of sprinters rank in the top 10 of their respective events, Roy Cheney and Cowin Mills made up the other two slots on that relay team.

Itay Magidi is fifth in the 10,000m after he ran an NCAA provisional qualifying time last weekend at the Stanford Invitational. His time of 29:29.34 ranks as the fifth-best all-time in school history.

In the long jump, freshman Andrew Kessler is listed seventh after he cleared 16’6.75″ at the Clemson Relays.

Danny Alge is also listed in the leaders of the hammer throw at 14th overall. He recorded a career-best toss of 195’3″ at the Clemson Relays on March 24-25.

The men’s team will continue its season this weekend by playing host to the Clemson Invitational on Saturday, April 8. The field events are scheduled to start at 10:00 AM.
