Men's results
ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Junior
Jake Lafaver lowered his personal-best outdoor time in the 800-meter run by more than a second Saturday as he placed fourth in that event at the Oneonta State May Meet. Lafaver's time of 1:52.97 ranks him 26th nationally in the 800. The top 20 times are eligible to compete at the NCAA championships later this month in LaCrosse, Wis.
Lafaver's previous best outdoor time was 1:54.39 at the NYSCTC Championships at St. Lawrence May 3. He also has run 1:53.24 indoors. Lafaver and a handful of other Nazareth track and field athletes will compete again Thursday and Friday at the ECAC Championships at Springfield, Mass.
