Staten Island, N.Y.  - Senior David Williams picked up where he left off, opening the 2025-26 indoor track and field season with an NCAA provisional mark and new school record, as the program opened at the Fastrack National Invite on Friday. 

Men's Highlights: 

• Williams's time of 7.99 in the finals rae of the men's 60 hurdles is his first time ever posting a sub 8.00 time and stands as a new school record. It also came in well under the NCAA qualifying standard of 8.14 in just opening weekend of indoor action for Division II.  
• Newcomer Evan Weber made the final of the 60 meter dash and placed fourth overall with a time of 6.92 - for his first collegiate clocking in a Panther uniform. 
• Continuing to find success from the cross country season, rookie Maxwell Krapf won his heat of the 3K in a time of 8:55.81 which was the 11th best when all sections were compiled. He was the top Division II competitor and bested teammate Jake Orfano by five seconds. 
• Sergio Talamo put up a new personal best height in the pole vault to kick off his final indoor season, clearing 3.95 meters on his second attempt to place seventh in the field. 
• In the throws arena, Ryna Moritz made the finals in shotput and finished with a new personal best mark of 14.59m to place fourth overall.

Additionally, she had a team-best time in the 200 race, where she clocked in at 25.93 which also marks her first sub-26 second finish. 
• Shareve Blair made the final of the 60 meter dash invitational and placed sixth in a time of 7.92, which is just .08 from her personal best - which she recorded at this same meet a calendar year ago.
