Syracuse continued its indoor track season with a pair of meets this weekend. The distance runners made their season debut at the John Thomas Invitational in Boston, MA on Friday and Saturday. The sprinters continued their slate with the Bob Pollock Invitational in Clemson, S.C.

Jaheem Hayles finished fifth in the 60-meter hurdles with a season-best time of 7.73 on Friday. Thorogood ran the fifth-fastest time in the 60-meter dash prelims (6.75), but did not advance to the finals due to his placement in his heat.
