CHESTER, Pa. – In one of the biggest meets they have competed at this season numerous members of the Albright Track and Field recorded new personal bests, while five others qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference championship meet in May Saturday afternoon at the Widener University Invitational.

Amongst the Lions top finishes in Saturday's huge meet which featured Division I, II, and III programs, junior jumper Justin Gewirtz placed third in the high jump and Clark Runciman took fourth in the pole vault. Gewirtz's jump of 6-04.00 matched his all-time career best, while Runciman's vault of 12-05.50 was a new personal best for him.
