Cortland, NY & Lewisburg, PA: The Cobleskill Fighting Tiger men's track and field teams were out in full force at two separate invitationals this weekend.  The majority of the team traveled to SUNY Cortland on Saturday for their Cortland Upstate Alternative while a smaller group competed in the highly competitive Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic on Saturday and Sunday.
 
Cortland Upstate Alternative
 
In some windy and rainy conditions, second year Kameron Cusmano (Oakfield, NY) was the Fighting Tigers top finisher with a seventh place finish in the high jump with a leap of 1.70 meters (5-7).  Cal Marks (Wellsburg, NY) turned in a solid performance with a pair of 10^th place finishes in his two throwing events.  In the hammer throw, Marks hit a distance of 39.63 meters (130-0) on his third throw, and he followed that up with a 32.81 meter throw (107-7) in the discus.
 
In the 100 meter dash, Gregory McDonald (Wells, ME) was Cobleskill's top finisher with a time of 12.43 seconds for a 13^th place finish just barely edging out fellow sprinter Jeffery Alvarado (Amsterdam, NY) who placed 19^th with a time of 12.64 seconds.  In the distance events, it was sophomore Nik Recore (Peru, NY) leading the Tigers as he placed 18^th in the 1500 meters with a time of 4:44.81.  Daniel Jaffin (Woodbury, Conn) and Jacob Rhinesmith (Sommerset, NJ) finished 25^th and 28^th in the event as well.
