HAVERFORD, Pa. – Saturday afternoon's non-scoring Keogh Invitational at Haverford College's Gary Lutnick Tennis & Track Center served as the Fords' final tune-up for the upcoming Centennial Conference championship.

The host team Saturday posted several strong performances including Charlie Marquardt's winning time of 1 minute, 54.64 seconds in the Eddie Papalia Memorial 800-meter run. Marquardt's collegiate-best result is the second-fastest in the Centennial this winter and, after conversion using the NCAA's banked-track index (1:53.03), is the 17th-fastest time in the event amongst Division III runners.

Marquardt also anchored the winning quartet in the 4x400-meter relay. Gebby Keny, Cormac Rada and Soren Rasmussen joined Marquardt on the relay.

The Fords also captured the 4x200 when Jeffrey Ainsley, Jonathan Yellets, Sam Callon and Alex Frost combined to post the Centennial's fastest time this winter with a clocking of 1:32.61.

Yellets had a strong day in addition to his relay contribution. The sophomore raced to his collegiate best in the 60 with a fifth-place time of 7.26 seconds and posted the conference's third-fastest 200 result with a time of 23.01 in a third-place finish Saturday.

Also posting a collegiate best for Haverford on the oval was Sam Fujimori whose time of 4:22.34 in the mile was good for third place.

Michael Iannacone registered a career-best -- indoor or outdoor -- in the pole vault Saturday afternoon, clearing 4.26 meters (13 feet, 11.75 inches) on the last of his three attempts at the height.

The Fords host the Centennial championship meet Saturday and Sunday, March 1-2, in Alumni Field House at the Lutnick Tennis & Track Center.
