ST. PAUL, Minn. – Senior Lucas Kramarczuk and sophomore Dylan Arnold won events for the St. Olaf College men's track and field team, which finished third at the Rider/Bolstorff Invitational on Saturday at Macalester Stadium.

Kramarczuk finished first in the 110-meter hurdles and Arnold placed first in the pole vault to lead eight top-five finishes for St. Olaf, which earned 97 points to finish third behind Bethel University (128) and host Macalester College (116).

Competing in the event for the second-straight day, Kramarczuk eased to a win in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.64 seconds, finishing nearly six-tenths of a second ahead of the second-place finisher. Arnold won the pole vault for the second time this outdoor season by clearing 4.40 meters (14' 5 ¼") and was one of three Oles in the top four, as senior Lars Askegaard was third (3.95m, 12' 11 ½") and sophomore Layton Borst was fourth (3.80m, 12' 5 ½").

Senior Andrew Mollison recorded his top placement in the shot put this outdoor season with a runner-up performance in the event with a mark of 14.21 meters (46' 7 ½"). St. Olaf also got a second-place showing from sophomore Eh Ler Moo, sophomore Devin McNearny, junior Henry Fisher, and junior Demetri Lord in the 4x100-meter relay with the fourth-fastest time in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) this season (43.00).

Junior Anders Cote broke onto St. Olaf's all-time top-10 list in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in sixth place with a third-place finish in 9:24.24, which ranks third in the conference this season. First year Sebastian Loder registered a third-place result in the 400-meter dash with a personal-best time of 49.86 seconds.
