The Lake Forest College track team traveled just north of the state line on Friday to compete in Carthage College's Tadd Metzger Invitational.

Audrey Paglia turned in the Foresters' top finish of the day with her second 800m victory in as many weeks. The graduate student's career-best indoor time of 2:26.80 was five seconds faster than the runner-up in a field of nine competitors.

Freshman Delfina Jorgensen added a couple of points to the women's team's tally with a seventh-place finish in the mile. She completed the race in 5:51.08 to place in the top third in the 21-runner event.

The Lake Forest men had a pair of runners finish in the top half of the field in the 800m run. Senior Mathieu Norcross was fifth out of 14 competitors with a time of 2:10.46 while freshman Bart Brophy finished seventh in 2:11.33.

The Foresters will be in action again next Saturday at Ripon College's Dick Hendricks Invite.
