Mids Competing at Larry Ellis Invitational
Navy will send nearly 40 athletes to Princeton this weekend, including four who currently lead the Patriot League in their respective events.
 
Conor McFadden returns to action as a key member of the conference-leading 4x400-meter relay team (3:05.11). In his last individual outing at the Navy Spring Invitational, McFadden clocked career-best times in the 200 meters (21.05) and 400 meters (47.29).
 
David Walker, who holds the Patriot League's top 400-meter hurdles time (52.61), is also scheduled to compete. Walker recently helped the 4x400-meter relay squad win its heat and place second overall in the prelims at the Penn Relays.
 
In the field events, Brian Schloeder looks to build on a historic performance. In his last outing at the Navy Spring Invitational, Schloeder set a school record in the pole vault by clearing 5.40 meters (17-08.50).
 
For the women's team, Tesi enters the weekend with the league's best high jump mark (1.76m / 5-09.25). She aims to continue her momentum following a third-place finish (1.70m / 5-07) at the Penn Relays.
