STATEN ISLAND, NY – The Johns Hopkins men's track and field team turned in an outstanding performance Friday at the Fastrack National Invite at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex, competing against a strong field that featured programs from all three NCAA divisions. Junior Alex Colletti highlighted the day with a pair of record-breaking performances on the track.
 
Colletti rewrote the Hopkins record book in both the 60-meter and 400-meter dashes. In the 60-meter, he broke the school record twice, first clocking a 6.87 in the preliminaries before improving to a personal-best 6.85 in the final. His time earned him second overall and ranked as the 20^th-fastest time in Division III this season, as he was the first Division III finisher in the race.
 
Colletti followed that performance with another historic showing in the 400-meter dash. Competing in a field of 149 athletes from all three divisions, he claimed first place with a personal-best 48.47. The time ranks 19^th nationally this season and stands as the fastest 400-meter performance in program history.
 
Hopkins also posted four top-25 finishes in the 60-meter Open in a field of 106 competitors. Colin Harte led the group with a third-place finish in 7.095, while Josh Lee followed closely in fourth with a personal-best 7.10. Spencer Ye placed 18^th in 7.25 and Carter Chui rounded out the group with a 21^st-place finish in 7.26.
 
The Blue Jays delivered another strong showing in the 800-meter, led by Ani Krishnan, Peter Murray and Shrey Chettiar. Krishnan placed seventh in a field of 94 with a personal-best 1:53.86, the fourth-fastest time in program history and the 33^rd-fastest in Division III this season. Murray followed in eighth with a personal-best 1:54.53, ranking fifth all-time at Hopkins and 52^nd nationally this year. Chettiar was the first freshman to cross the line, finishing 12^th in 1:54.91, the eighth-fastest time in school history and the 58^th-fastest mark in Division III this season.
 
Spencer Ye added a personal-best performance in the 200-meter, clocking a 22.55 to post the 10^th-fastest time in program history. Action on the track concluded with the 4x400-meter relay team of Chettiar, Krishnan, Murray and Samson Dessalines, which placed eighth while recording the seventh-fastest time in program history (3:23.20).
 
In the field events, Hopkins combined for 10 top-25 finishes, highlighted by two top-10 performances. Oluwademilade Adeniran placed sixth in the triple jump with a leap of 14.24 meters (46-8.75), while Seth Wyzykowski finished fourth in the pole vault, clearing a personal-best 4.55 meters (14-11).
