ITHACA, N.Y. -- Junior Jake Lafaver continued to excel for the Golden Flyers Saturday as Nazareth's men's and women's track and field teams competed at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference Championship at Ithaca's Glazer Arena.

Lafaver outkicked all competitors to the finish line to win the title in the 800-meter run with a facility-record time of 1:55.72. That victory accounted for 10 of Nazareth's team points. Junior Matt Fedrizzi competed in the mile and finished 16th with a time of 4:49.30. In addition, freshman Khiary Gayle finished fourth in the triple jump with a leap of 13.51 meters.

Nazareth also had several strong performances in the women's meet, noteably a second-place finish for sophomore Hannah Brackley in the 400-meter dash. Her time of 1:00.73 was a fraction of a second behind the event winner, Eliza Dewart of Ithaca, who ran 1:00.36.

Nazareth also broke a school record with a second-place finish in the 4 x 800-meter relay with the group of Lauren Jamieson, Kelsey Mash, Lauren Heitzhaus and Michaela Gildemeyer. They posted a time of 9:53.92 to easily break the record of 10:01.20 that had stood since 2006.
