LANCASTER, Pa. – The Ursinus Indoor Men's Track & Field team continued its momentum with another standout showing, this time at Franklin & Marshall's Mini-Dip Invitational on Friday.
 
 
A pair of school records fell on the day as senior Isaiah Battle topped his own weight throw record and classmate Payton Stanziani established a new school record in the 600 meters, while blitzing the Centennial Conference record in the process. Ursinus earned six first place finishes in the event as well with five being individuals and the other coming in a relay race.
 
 
Battle bested his weight throw school record for the second time this season and placed first behind his mark of 58-3 ft. His throw is six feet clear of the second best throw for the event this season in the Centennial Conference, which came from senior Tim Holzapfel tonight at 52-9 ft. It was a career best for Holzapfel and he finished third on the afternoon. Sophomore Tom Wood placed 10th for the Bears after recording a throw of 43-4 ft. Battle was edged for the top spot in the shot put but nonetheless recorded a career best throw of 48-2.75 ft that was also the third best throw in the Centennial this indoor season. Wood recorded a mark of 44-5.75 ft. to finish sixth and senior Pat Patterson-Zuber finished ninth with a throw of 42-1 ft.
 
 
Stanziani recorded a time of 1:21.56 in the 600 meters which set the mark for the Ursinus record books and topped the previous Centennial Conference record of 1:27.33 that was set by McDaniel's Alex Panagakos in 2017. Freshman Liam Johnston led a 1-2 Bears finish in the 800 meters with junior Tucker McGrath. Johnston edged McGrath by .34 seconds with his winning time of 1:58.30.
