ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Cortland track and field athletes set two facility records at the Nazareth College ROC City Qualifier meet on Sunday. Danielle Fisk (Honeoye Falls/Honeoye Falls-Lima) set a Golden Flyers Stadium record in the high jump on the women's side, while Brett Morse (Saratoga Springs) broke a stadium record in the 110-meter hurdles in the men's meet, both in winning efforts. 
 
Fisk, one of four Cortland women competing at the meet, won the high jump with a height of 1.65 meters (5' 5"). Elizabeth Liriano (New York/Manhattan Ctr. for Science and Math) was second in the 400-meter hurdles (1:03.94), Autumn Pittman (Spring Valley/Ramapo) finished fifth in the 100-meter dash (12.59) and seventh in the 200-meter dash (26.66), and Sarah Parr (Cooperstown) was 11th in the hammer throw (42.26 meters/138' 8"). Fisk, Liriano and Pittman (100 meters) hit All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Conference (AARTFC) qualifying marks. 
 
Morse won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.65 seconds, followed closely by Aaron Jones (Buffalo/Hutch Tech) in second at 14.68 seconds. Zach Nyhart (Hamburg) placed third in the pole vault (4.70 meters/15' 5"), Ryan Joule (Staten Island/Susan B. Wagner) was eighth in the javelin (47.77 meters/156' 8"), and Zashon Abrams (Morrisonville/Saranac) was 10th in the 100-meter dash (11.50 seconds). 
 
The combo of Abrams, Morse, Coltrane Goring (Los Angeles, CA/Notre Dame) and Jones was second in the 4x100-meter relay in 42.01 seconds. Doug Knapp (Brooklyn/Xaverian), Rich Samuels (Wallkill), Justin Schrom (Richmondville/Cobleskill-Richmondville) and Goring finished second in the 4x400-meter relay (3:18.82). Both relays, along with Morse and Jones in the hurdles and Nyhart in the pole vault, met AARTFC standards. 
 
Cortland is scheduled to send competitors to the Swarthmore Last Chance Meet (held at Widener University this year) on Monday and the AARTFC Championships Wednesday and Thursday at Moravian College.

Coach's Corner - Comments from Cortland Head Coach Steve Patrick:

It's really important to make sure that we keep things in perspective: this was a track and field meet and compared to the horrible tragedy that took place in Buffalo this week, it doesn't matter in the least. At this time we stand in support of those directly impacted by that despicable cowardly attack along with the greater Buffalo community to help them grieve and heal as much as possible.
