ST. PAUL, Minn. – Junior Kevin Turlington established a new meet record in the 5,000-meter run for the St. Olaf College men's track and field team at the unscored Meet of the UnSaintly on Wednesday at Klas Field.

Running in a field that included 14 NCAA Division I runners, Turlington trailed four runners from the University of Minnesota for most of the race before pulling away form a near 12-second win in 14:11.84. The junior's time ranks No. 15 in the country, No. 1 in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and No. 2 on St. Olaf's all-time list, in addition to topping the previous meet record of 14:29.29 set by Team USA Minnesota's Ryan Rutherford in 2017.

Turlington was one of three Oles in the top 10 in the 48-runner field in the 5,000-meter run, with senior Andrew Skemp in seventh (14:35.59) and junior Gael Manzur Strandlund in 10th (14:44.37). First year Austin McInturff, junior Cullen Moore, first year Jakob Eenigenburg, and junior Lance Nemecek placed second in the 4x400-meter relay (3:18.56) with the second-fastest time in the MIAC this season.

Senior Sean Hartney added a top-15 national time in the 1,500-meter run with his eighth-place finish (3:05.02), a time that ranks second in the MIAC and eighth on the program's all-time list. Junior Ignatius Fitzgerald also posted a top-five time in the conference this season in the event in ninth place (3:53.17).

In addition to the relay, Moore and Nemecek both ran top-40 national times in the 800-meter run, with Moore taking second (1:51.98) and Nemecek in third (1:52.50). Those times sit second and third, respectively, in the MIAC and fifth and sixth on St. Olaf's all-time list.

Sophomore Max Albertson added a third-place performance in the long jump (6.92m, 22' 8 ½") to match his second-best mark in the event this season.

Senior Andrew Cogley and sophomore Jesse Olson will open the MIAC Decathlon for the Oles at 12 p.m. on Thursday, May 1 at Carleton College's Laird Stadium. St. Olaf will also host the Ole Open on Saturday, May 3 starting at 12 p.m. at Klein Field at Manitou.
