Indoor Track Concludes Superb Weekend with Major Honor, Record

Brandon Olden Named IC4A Outstanding Runner, Lomascolo Downs 3k Record

BOSTON, MA – Siena Indoor Track junior Brandon Olden capped off the most decorated season in program history with one more major distinction Sunday afternoon, as the Saints completed competition at the 2022 ECAC/IC4A Indoor Track Championships in Boston, Massachusetts. Olden was named the IC4A Male Most Outstanding Performer after winning his second event of the weekend to highlight a remarkable performance for both the men's and women's squads.
 
One day after claiming gold in the 5,000-meter race for his second ECAC/IC4A title of the season, the Chestertown, New York native won the 3,000-meter event with a time of 8:03.48, out-running Providence's Ryan Gallagher by nearly a second. The two wins allowed Olden to be selected as the Male Most Outstanding Performer, marking the first time in school history that a Siena runner – male or female – has taken home an ECAC or IC4A major award.
 
The women's 3k was highlighted by senior Olivia Lomascolo, who set her second school record of the year with a time of 9:27.73. The mark was good for a fourth-place finish and surpassed the previous record of 9:33.59 set by program great Sarah Forman in April 2019. Lomascolo previously broke Forman's 5k school record back in December.
 
Elsewhere in the 3k, the Saints' men's team ran four other competitors, with junior Tommy Anderson recording the second-best mark in school history with a time of 8:15.12. Freshman Jackson Cayward ran a mark of 8:18.58, while junior Aidan Gillooley (8:21.51) and sophomore Tom Ragone (8:35.45) posted solid marks.
 
The teams rounded out the final weekend of indoor track competition with the running of the distance medley relay. The men's group of junior Matthew Laframboise, junior Ryan Famiglietti, sophomore Griffin Cooke, and freshman Luke Tkaczyk – which had previously qualified for the final round on Saturday – placed sixth with a time of 10:05.72. The women's team of freshman Keira Flaherty, freshman Claire Gardner, sophomore Jennifer McClintock, and junior Delia McDade Clay finished tenth with a mark of 12:07.95.
 
Following the conclusion of the 2021-22 indoor track campaign, Siena will turn its attention to outdoor track season, which will commence the final weekend of March.
