The University at Buffalo men's and women's track and field teams competed in both the prestigious Penn Relays and Cornell Invitational this past weekend.

For his Mid-American Conference-leading, UB record-breaking, first-place triple jump (50-6 1/2") at the UB Invitational (4/22), Kamau Halim (Medina, NY/Medina) was named MAC track athlete of the week on April 25.

More UB Records Broken

More Buffalo records fell this past weekend as Adam Smith (Varysburg, NY/Attica) set a new mark and placed first in the discus throw (159-5") at the Cornell Invitational. Smith also won the shot put (48-5 1/2").

Melissa Ryan (Oswego, NY/Oswego) is now the new UB 100-meter hurdle record-holder after her :14.07 time at the Penn Relays. The women's relay squads were on fire as the 4x400 (3:48.45), 4x100 (:47.91), and 4x200 (1:42.28) relays all set new UB marks at the Penn Relays.

Buffalo has set new school records for the seventh consecutive week of competition.
