FAIRFAX, Va. – Junior
Clay Reynolds (Medway, Mass./Worcester Academy) and senior
Jeff Butterworth (Glen Mills, Pa./West Chester East) each set a school record, leading the Gettysburg College track & field teams at the George Mason University Patriot Games on Saturday.
The non-scoring meet was made up primarily of Division I competition.
Reynolds clocked a winning time of 1:55.85 in the 800-meter run, besting the previous Gettysburg mark of 1:56.24 set by Mike Kress '02 in 2002, beating out 17 other runners, and qualifying for ECACs. Butterworth was timed at 8:51.47 in the 3,000-meter run, edging the former record of 8:52.21 set by
Greg Cumming '09 in 2009. He won his heat and took seventh out of 25 harriers.
Also turning in an outstanding performance for the men's team was senior
Adrian Macdonald (Westwood, Mass./Westwood), who placed fourth among 25 competitors in the mile and won his heat in an ECAC-qualifying 4:21.11. He is believed to be the second-fastest indoor miler in school history behind only Bill Geating '79, who ran 4:16 in 1977.
