Utica, NY - After a week of strong workouts, the Panthers took the short drive out to Utica for the SUNY Poly Wildcat Classic. With great conditions it was quickly evident that this would be a great opportunity to see some season and personal bests. "We've preached pack running this entire season," said Coach Samson Dikeman. " Today was easily our best team performance so far, this season.

Harrison Matthews (Peru, NY) got off to a great start and was able to hold the pace to lead the Panthers. His 33:02, represented a nearly 2-minute PR. Joining a Harrison in the PRs was Kevin Andrews (Buffalo, NY) who took over 3 and a half minutes off his PR finishing 4th for the Panthers in a time of 35:17. Tyler Buffolino (Ridge, NY) and Dylan Wang (Glenmont, NY) finished 2nd and 3rd for the Panthers, respectively, continuing their strong seasons while Andy Tran (Vietnam) rounded out the scoring Panthers taking over a minute off his season best.

On the women's side, Morgan Scarzafava (Middletown, NY) took over two minutes off her season best to pace the Panthers. Kayleigh Simpson (Utica, NY) took over 30 seconds off her season best to finish closely behind.

Your Panthers travel to Amherst, MA next week to preview the YSCC Championship Course at the Founding Tree Invite hosted by Hampshire College.
