Westfield State's men's track and field sprint contingent turned in strong showings at the Coast Guard Invitational meet on a dreary weather day in New London, Conn. on Saturday.

The Owls' distance crew wasn't to be outdone, as Nathan Sylven grabbed a second-place finish in the 5000 in 15:37.84, with  Scott Porter third in 15:44 and Will Buckley sixth in 16:00.21 among 23 competitors in the event.

Other top results included Daniel Shea placing fourth in the long jump with jump of 6.63 meters, Dylan Clark taking fourth in the shot put with a toss of 12.98 meters, and Rowan Gottschall  came home fifth in the 800 in 2:00.82.
