BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – The Geneva College track and field teams continue to put together strong performances each week, and last weekend was no different as the Golden Tornadoes competed at the West Virginia Marty Pushkin Invitational.  On Tuesday, graduate student Jack Garvin was named the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Men's Field Athlete of the Week, while freshman Stanford Webb was named the PAC Men's Track and Field Newcomer of the Week.

Garvin finished second in the high jump on Saturday, and he was the top finisher among Division III athletes by clearing 1.93 meters.  Garvin also placed eighth in the triple jump (11.95 meters) and ninth in the long jump (6.18 meters).

Webb continued his strong start to the track and field season.  After spending most of the winter playing on the men's basketball team, he didn't make his first appearance on the track until the PAC Indoor Championship meet, and in his first jump he broke the school record in the long jump, helping the men win the Indoor PAC Championship.  On Saturday, he took third in the long jump by jumping 6.51 meters.  He also placed sixth in the triple jump with a mark of 12.24 meters.

The track and field team will be back in action this weekend at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational.  A few events will occur on Friday, while the majority of the meet will take place on Saturday.
