Penn State Tune Up Results | Muskingum Meet Results

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (Feb. 17) – Sophomore Logan Pfister (Fishertown, Pa./Chestnut Ridge) and junior Noah Bernarding (Cochranton, Pa./Cochranton) both set indoor school records on Friday, as the Vulcans competed at the both the Penn State Tune Up and Muskingum Meet.

Pfister broke the school mark in the high jump, plus reached the NCAA provisional standard for the first time this season. He won the event at Penn State with a height of 2.10 meters (6-10.7.5), clearing the mark on his final attempt at the height. Pfister previously shared the school record in the high jump with Aaron Morgan at the height of 2.05 meters (6-8.75 feet). The Chestnut Ridge product, who won the indoor league title in the event last year, is one of two entries in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) to clear the NCAA standard in the event this winter.

Bernarding eclipsed the school record in the 800-meter run while at Penn State. He crossed the finish line in 1 minute, 52.94 seconds to break the mark set by Morgan Huegel in 2016 by over three-tenths of a second. Bernarding finished seventh overall in the event behind a trio of Nittany Lions and a pair of unattached entries. The 5-foot-10 junior sits third on the league's performance list in the 800 meters after earning All-PSAC Second-Team honors in cross country for the third time this fall.

Freshman Brendin Marks (Chantilly, Va./Chantilly) won the long jump at Penn State on Friday with a distance of 6.73 meters (22-1.0 feet) on two of his attempts. He also placed fourth in the triple jump after posting a mark of 13.69 meters (44-11.0 feet). Marks ranks fifth on the conference performance list in the long jump this year after reaching the NCAA standard in the event last month.

Senior Kristopher Lytle (Columbia, Md./Atholton) improved his league-qualifying mark in a pair of events at Penn State. He set a personal record and finished in second place in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.80 seconds, which is the second-fastest time in the PSAC this year. Lytle also placed third in the finals of the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.93 seconds, trimming four-hundredths of a second off his season-best time.

In addition to Lytle, senior Tyrese Canada (Richmond, Va./Henrico) and freshman Steven Graves III (Harrisburg, Pa./Susquehanna Township) qualified for the finals in the 60 meters. Canada placed fifth with a time of 7.03 seconds, while Graves finished sixth at 7.05 seconds to qualify for the PSAC Championships.

Freshman Daniel Munro (Brookhaven, Pa./Penncrest) placed third in the pole vault with a height of 4.45 meters (14-7.25 feet) on his third attempt at the mark. He also improved league-qualifying mark in the 60-meter hurdles at Penn State, placing fourth in the finals at 8.67 seconds.

Senior John Franklin, Jr. (Pittsburgh, Pa./Shaler) finished third in the 60 hurdles with a time of 8.58 seconds after posting a time of 8.56 second in the preliminaries. Freshman Donovan Adams (Lebanon, Pa./Cedar Crest) placed seventh in the finals with a time of 8.79 seconds, which was over two-tenths of a second faster than his preliminary time on Friday.

Senior Sam Rothstein (Sykesville, Md./Century) qualified for the PSAC Championships and set a personal best in the weight throw. He finished fifth overall with a heave of 14.69 meters (48-2.5 feet) on his first attempt.

In Ohio, freshman Kolby Kent (Roscoe, Pa./California) claimed the victory in the 5,000-meter run by nearly 30 seconds after crossing the finish line in 16:29.18. Classmate Ian Buday (Johnstown, Pa./Westmont Hilltop) also won the long jump with a distance of 5.91 meters (19-4.75 feet) on his third attempt.
