GENESEO, NY – The Alfred University men's track & field team had a plethora of top-scoring finishes on Saturday during the SUNY Geneseo It's Gonna Be May Meet.

"We had a well-rounded meet today as we had multiple place-finishers here at Geneseo," Head Coach Dr. Angie Taylor said. "Rashid and Sean placing as high as third in their events was exciting as well as our sprint events doing the same. We're very excited for the Empire 8 Championships next weekend and we are going to be prepared for it."
