NEW YORK, N.Y. – Three first-place performances made for a strong showing for the TCNJ men's track and field team at the NYC Division III Invitational on Friday night.

Competing at the Armory for the third time this winter, the Lions felt right at home with a bevy of impressive marks. Alex Amoia led a 1-2-3 sweep in the 800 and ran the last leg of the first-place 4x400-meter relay, while Tyler Scott picked up an individual win in the 200-meter dash.

Amoia's two-second PR of 1:54.02 was the cherry on top of a terrific showing for the Lions in the 800, where Sean Burtnett also uncorked a two-second personal best to take second in 1:54.64. Roman Rychkov, frequently an individual winner himself, settled for third place at 1:55.64.

Those three joined Jason Engler, who ran the leadoff leg of the 4x400-meter relay as the TCNJ foursome registered a 3:21.84 to easily outdistance the second-place unit.

Scott, meanwhile, came in first place in the 200 with a time of 22.56.

Engler's career-best 8.72-second mark earned him a second-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles.

Justin Gomez produced back-to-back personal bests in the 60-meter dash, qualifying for the finals with a 7.21 in prelims and lowering that mark to 7.17 to place eighth in the finals session. Scott (7.24) and Raymond Schmitt (7.29) just missed out on qualifying out of prelims.

Jack Ennis led an impressive showing in the 3000 meters, knocking more than 15 seconds off his previous PR to place third in 8:39.63. Stuart Gruters (8:46.84) and Gabriel Calandri (8:47.37) also posted massive personal bests, while Pat Mulligan broke the 9-minute mark for the first time in his career with an 8:59.41.

Jahmir Anderson made an impressive debut in the high jump, clearing 6-2.75 to finished in third place and vault into second in the NJAC.

Daniel Gleason finished fourth with a career-best 21-8.50 in the long jump, and Anderson was right behind with a 20-8.00 in his debut. Gleason also placed sixth with a 40-10.50 in his triple jump debut.

Warlys Lizardo (41-8.75) and Luke Schrank-Garcia (41-1.00) each unveiled a personal best to place fifth and sixth, respectively, in the weight throw. Schrank-Garcia matched that mark exactly in the shot put, a career-best by nearly three feet and good for fifth overall.
