Syracuse track and field: Amanda Vestri’s school record highlights opening weekend

The Syracuse Orange indoor track teams were in action over the weekend to start the season.

The team split between two meets with the sprint/hurdle group at Cornell and the distance group at Boston University. We start in Boston as the fast BU track and runners still tapered from the cross-country season meant it was an opportunity for runners to get some good marks before getting rest during exams.

Amanda Vestri made her return to action with a new Syracuse school record in the 5000 with a 15:42.48. This broke the existing record by Paige Stoner, who was busy this weekend winning the US Marathon Championships in a course record time of 2:26:01 (Congrats to Paige and fellow Orange alum Maegan Krifchin who was 7th in 2:29.
