BOSTON, Mass./MANKATO, Minn. – Five members of the St. Olaf College men's track and field team were in action at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational at Boston University and the Maverick Premier Meet #2 at Minnesota State University on Saturday.

Senior Will Kelly and sophomore Kevin Turlington race in distance events in Boston, while senior Demetri Lord, junior Eh Ler Moo, and first year Max Albertson ventured to Mankato. Lord and Kelly both moved up St. Olaf's all-time indoor lists with standout performances on the day.

Running on what is widely-regarded as the fastest track in the country in a field filled largely with NCAA Division I runners, Kelly ran the third-fastest time in program history in the 3,000-meter run by clocking in at 8:13.07, which represented a 15-second PR and ranks 21st in the country this season. The only faster times on St. Olaf's all-time list are those of Jake Campbell '16 (8:10.55) and Grant Wintheiser '15 (8:11.29) from their national champion and national runner-up finishes in 2015.

Turlington ran in the unseeded 5,000-meter run and was 15th in his heat in 14:39.09, which was just half a second shy of his personal-best time that ranks fourth on St. Olaf's all-time list.

In Mankato, Lord broke a tie with Aaron Dunphy '15 to claim sole possession of second place on St. Olaf's all-time list in the 60-meter hurdles with an eighth-place finish in 8.44 seconds. The senior grabbed the final spot in the finals with a time of 8.46 seconds in the prelims. Moo and Albertson placed sixth and ninth, respectively, in the long jump, with Moo posting a mark of 6.48 meters (21' 3 ¼") and Albertson registering a mark of 6.23 meters (20' 5 ¼").

St. Olaf hosts the Tostrud Classic on Saturday, Feb. 17 in its final meet before the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Indoor Championships come to campus from Feb. 22-24.
