Saturday, Conner Paez led the men's team at the Wesley A. Brown Invitational at the Naval Accadamy. Paez, Penn's standout freshman, cruised to an impressive 8:22 3k. Paez is the fastest Quaker to cover that distance this year, besting Philip Cawkwell's 8:23 run from Friday. Paez placed 8th out of 15 in his heat.

Jeff Weinstein also raced the 3k at Navy today. His 8:31 put him 14th in the 15 man heat. It remains to be seen how Weinstein, trying to mount a comeback from a serious injury, will perform at his mile specialty when he finally steps down to the shorter distance. His speed at the end of the race was clearly not there, as three runners finished less than five seconds ahead of the senior.

While Junior Ryan Cunningham ran to a 4:15 finish at Penn State — a time well above his goal time of 4:08, Matt Chylack ran a very impressive 4:13 at Navy (6th place) and freshman Steve Piscatelli clocked a 4:15. These performances are promising indicators of fast miles to come from other quarters of the Quakers squad.
