MANKATO, Minn. – Seniors Logan Bocovich and Lucas Kramarczuk both set new school records on the track in the St. Olaf College men's track and field team's second-place finish at the season-opening Chuck Petersen Open on Saturday at Myers Field House.

Bocovich broke the seven-year-old program record in the 5,000-meter run, while Kramarczuk shattered his own school record in the 60-meter hurdles, as the duo headlined St. Olaf's performances at the season-opening meet. The Oles amassed 92 points in the meet to finish second behind host and NCAA Division II member Minnesota State University.

Kramarczuk shaved one-tenth of a second off his own school record in the 60-meter hurdles by clocking in at 8.22 seconds in the prelims, bettering his mark established last season. The time ranks third in the country in NCAA Division III this season. Kramarczuk went on to finish third in the event – behind a pair of Minnesota State competitors – with a time of 8.23 seconds in the finals and also placed third in the triple jump (13.51m).

Bocovich lapped the field in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 14:26.94 - also third best in the country this season - to break the previous school record set by five-time track and field All-American Jake Campbell in 2015 (14:28.62). Classmate Derk Lyford added a third-place finish in the event in 15:28.29.

In his first collegiate meet, first year Zach Martin won the 800-meter run (2:01.84) to lead a 1-2-3 finish for the Oles, as junior Jose Gonzalez Ramirez was second (2:03.31) and first year Alex Bittner was third (2:04.46). Sophomore Olaf Coffey paced a 2-3-4 finish for St. Olaf in the one-mile run (4:27.77).

Junior Matthew Nissen moved up one spot on the program's all-time top-10 list in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.94 in the prelims.

The meet was the lone competition of the first semester for St. Olaf, which returns to action by hosting the Ole Opener at Tostrud Center on Friday, Jan. 13.
