Penn actives Stephen Fernandez, Jordan Vega, and Brandon Rista were all honored for their track achievements this past weekend at the Pomona-Pitzer track invitational.

The men got off to a strong start as Stephen Fernandez ignited the Poets as he took first place in his heat in the shot put throwing a personal best 40’5″.

But not to be overlooked was the run of Brandon Rista who in the next heat ran one of his better races of the season with a time of 4:29.86.

But the distance was where it was at for the Poets as Kevin Mancilla led a group of runners in the 1500 with a time of 4:16.44 quickly followed by fellow team members Jordan Vega, Marco Leone, and Jacob Arango.
