NORTHFIELD, Minn. – Junior Kevin Turlington and senior Andrew Skemp ran top-10 times in NCAA Division III in the 5,000-meter run for the St. Olaf College men's track and field team at this weekend's St. Olaf Invitational & Multi at Tostrud Center.

Turlington and Skemp recorded the No. 7 and No. 10 times in the country this indoor season in the 5,000-meter run on Friday evening to account for two of St. Olaf's 20 top-five performances at the two-day meet. First year Jackson Bullock, sophomore Max Albertson, and St. Olaf's 4x200-meter relay all recorded first-place finishes on Saturday.

Turlington jumped up to second on St. Olaf's all-time list in the 5,000-meter run – just 2.5 seconds shy of the record of Will Kelly '24 set last year – by placing second in the event (14:23.16), trailing only Augsburg University's Mohammed Bati, who broke the facility and Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) indoor records in 14:15.33. Skemp also moved up the Oles' list to fifth with a third-place time of 14:37.25, while juniors Parker Max and Gael Manzur Strandlund were fourth and fifth, respectively, in 14:58.91 and 15:00.91.

Bullock won the 800-meter run and led St. Olaf's 1-4 finish in the event with a time of 1:56.01, which ranks second in the MIAC and 20th in NCAA Division III this season. The first year was followed by sophomore Christian Fells (1:57.37), senior Sean Hartney (1:57.54), and senior Olaf Coffey (1:59.32). Hartney and Coffey also posted top-three conference times in the one-mile run, as Hartney was the runner-up (4:17.51) and Coffey was third (4:19.12).

Albertson posted the day's top jump in the long jump on Saturday with a mark of 6.55 meters (21' 6"), while senior Eh Ler Moo was fourth at 6.23 meters (20' 5 ¼"). Albertson was also part of St. Olaf's winning 4x200-meter relay, which posted the MIAC's No. 2 time this season (1:31.94) while breaking onto the program's all-time top-10 list in fifth. First years Gavin Vogel, Jakob Eenigenburg, and Cristian Escobar Pearson joined Albertson on the relay.

Escobar Pearson also bettered his fourth-best standing on St. Olaf's all-time list in the 60-meter hurdles by placing fifth in 8.56 seconds, which was three one-hundredths of a second faster than his previous time.

Sophomore Gavin Hoelzel eased past his previous PR in the heptathlon by nearly 500 points with a second-place total of 4,140 points over the two-day competition. Hoelzel set new PRs in five of the seven events, including wins in the 60-meter dash (7.43) and pole vault (3.90m, 12' 9 ½"), and was in the top two in four of the seven events.

St. Olaf will head to the University of Minnesota for the Gopher Classic on Saturday, Feb. 8.
