UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Georgia Tech men’s track team sent a small group of runners to compete Friday and Saturday in the Penn State National meet and the Yellow Jackets did not disappoint.
The foursome of Brandon Lasater, Alexander Reese, Zack Fanelty and Jeremy Greenwald set a new Georgia Tech indoor school record in the distance medley relay Friday night. The quartet crossed the line in sixth place in a time of 9:42.43, breaking the previous record of 9:48.49 set in 2000 by Joe Stegal, Tosin Tomori, Brent Johnson and Brendon Mahoney by more than six seconds.
