SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Gettysburg finished among the top-two in three events and the Bullets men's track and field team turned in a solid performance Friday evening at the non-scoring Susquehanna University Indoor Challenge.
 
For the second week in a row, senior Ben Taber (Durham, Conn./Coginchaug Regional) turned in the team's top showing, beating out 39 competitors to win the mile. Six days after breaking the school record in the indoor 5,000-meter run, he came within a second of his personal record (PR) with a time of 4:26.38.
 
Gettysburg also finished second in a pair of relays. In the 4x800, the Bullets took second among five teams while clocking an 8:01.87, which ranks third in school history and was the fastest time at Gettysburg since 1964. Taber led off and was followed by sophomores Alex Petrecca (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Warde) and Matt Robinson (Taneytown, Md./Pinkerton Academy [N.H.]). Senior Nathan Wojick (Milford, N.J./Delaware Valley Regional) anchored the relay, which finished just behind event winner Lebanon Valley College, which was timed at 8:00.68.
 
Wojick also anchored the 4x400-meter squad, which won its heat with a time of 3:33.09 and took third among 14 teams overall. Senior Collin Bergey (Zionsville, Pa./Southern Lehigh) led off the event while freshman Evan Bertonazzi (Richland, N.J./Buena) and sophomore Thad Cwiklinski (Glen Rock, Pa./York Catholic) ran the second and third legs, respectively.
 
Bergey also took sixth in a field of 32 in the 400-meter dash, winning his heat and leading a 6-7-8 Bullet finish. He finished in 52.48 and was followed by Wojick, who was seventh in 52.61, and Cwiklinski, who placed eighth in 53.12.
 
Freshman Ken Barnes (Edison, N.J./Westminster School [Conn.]) placed seventh in a field of 27 in the long jump with a mark (20-4 1/4) that ranks eighth in school history. In the same event, junior Ryan Thompson (Oakland, N.J./Indian Hills) placed ninth in 20-3, ranking him ninth all-time at Gettysburg.
