NEW YORK--In the first meet of the new year junior Samuel Ellison (Dresher, Pa.) won the 1000 meters individually and Villanova also came up with a victory in the 4x800 meter relay at New York Armory on Friday afternoon. The meet was the first of four competitions at the Armory for the Wildcats this season.
Villanova had athletes competing in 14 different events on Friday. The winning time for the 4x800 meter relay quartet was 7:46.17 and the Wildcats outpaced runner-up Saint Joseph's by more than four seconds at the finish line.
Ellison has won the 1000 meters twice in as many meets this season, including on Friday and also at the Jack Pyrah Invitational last month. His time of 2:28.56 at the Armory showed an improvement of more than two seconds from the time he posted at the Pyrah meet. Sophomore Richie Bohny (Holmdel, N.J.) came in sixth in the 1000 meters and his time of 2:30.77 established a new personal best.
Sophomores Charlie Bates (Hoboken, N.J.) and Robert Hurlbut (Rochester, N.Y.) also registered personal bests in their respective events. Bates came in fourth out of 48 runners in the Mile with a time of 4:16.67, eclipsing his previous top mark by nearly four full seconds. Hurlbut came in sixth in the 5000 meters in 15:13.97, a time which was over 14 seconds faster than his previous personal best.
In the field events sophomore Elbert Maxwell (Pittsburgh, Pa.) had the top result with a strong finish in the long jump. He tallied a distance of 6.80 meters and came in sixth in a deep field that included 52 entries.
