The Lake Forest College track team competed at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Lake Michigan Open on Saturday and had several standout performances.

The team may have saved its best for last with the men's 4x400m relay breaking the school record with a time of 3:37.16. Senior Matthew Lungu, freshman Alex Pavlov, sophomore Ollie Francis, and senior Bart Borphy placed fourth at the meet.

Another team record fell in the women's long jump, where freshman Zahra Tait covered 4.57m (15') on her second attempt and also placed fourth at the meet. The second-longest lead by a Forester woman also occurred on Saturday with freshman Stella Abernathy jumping 4.29m (14'1") and placing sixth.

Sophomore Shuntaro Nakamura made the Foresters' first update to the program's top-5 lists when he posted a time of 6.72 seconds in the 55m prelims. That time qualified him for the finals and ranks him second in team history in the 60m with a converted mark of 7.22 seconds.

Sophomore Sophie Graham also added her name to the lists and now ranks fifth in the mile at 5:33.44

The Foresters' first points at the meet came from sophomore Payton Ross, who was fifth in the 55m hurdles in 8.47 seconds. Junior AJ Jones then got the women's team on the scoreboard with a fourth-place finish in the 55m (7.69).

Graham was also seventh in the 800m in 2:36.48. She finished one place behind classmate Lettia Hoda, whose clocking of 2:36.00 ranks her fourth in team annals. Lake Forest also had two runners place in the men's 800m with Francis finishing third in 2:01.36 and Brophy 6th in 2:02.49.

Freshman Farah Tawfik came into the day ranked four in school history in the women's 200m and moved up a spot with her time of 29.36 seconds.

The Foresters will travel farther into Wisconsin next Saturday when they compete in Ripon College's Red Hawk Invite, which will begin at 11:00 a.m.
