WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - The Stony Brook University men's track and field team put up another strong performance at the Monmouth Spring Opener on Saturday.

Freshman George Franks continued his historic season, breaking his own school record in the 100-meter event and taking home a first-place finish. He then took home another first-place finish in the 200-meter.

HIGHLIGHTS

• For the second consecutive event, Franks took first place in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. He finished the 100-meter in 10.54, a new school record, and posted a 20.90 in the 200-meter.
• Michael Hawkes took first in the 1,500-meter dash (4:00.45).
• Eric Shu finished second in the 5,000-meter (15:07.03).

QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"George continues his assault on our record books and increases his profile on the conference and regional level," head coach Andy Ronan noted. "Today was another day of impressive performances, including a wind-aided sub-21-second 200m. Mike and Rebecca had nice wins, and Alexander Kanes creeps closer to the school record in the long jump."

UP NEXT
Stony Brook will return to action on Friday and Saturday, with the team splitting events at the Colonial Relays.
