WEST POINT, NY – The Army West Point men's track and field close out a tough day of competition at the FastTrack National Invitational.

The meet was held at the Ocean Breeze Track, in Staten Island, N.Y., where the squad competed against a variety of competitors including fellow-Patriot League team Lafayette.

COACH'S QUOTES:

"We decided to rest the majority of our team from competition this weekend and sent a small crew of people vying for spots on the Patriot League roster to compete here at the FastTrack meet," said head coach Mike Smith. "The top end competition at this meet was pretty good and we had a few improvements and some nice breakthroughs. We are looking forward to lining up next weekend and seeing how we compare to the rest of the conference."
