Ferrin Shines in Men’s One-Mile at Fastrack National Invite

Freshman from Auburn, NY darts into Siena record book history as fastest freshman in the event

Freshman Austin Ferrin put on a show in the men's one-mile run at the Fastrack National Invite at Staten Island's Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Friday.

The Auburn, NY native darted into the Siena Track record books with the all-time best Siena freshman performance and fourth fastest in program history.

Among 92 competitors, his time was sixth overall at 4:08.78, only being surpassed by three runners who ran a sub four-minute time in Empire Elite TC members Ben Allen (3:53.40) and Eric Holt (3:53.70), Seth Clevenger of Rowan (3:59.41) as well as Mikah Paiz, who ran unattached, and finished in 4:06:03 and Dylan Tarpey of CPTC-Tracksmith who also ran in 4:08.78. 

Teammate and graduate student Jackson Cayward had a strong pace with a time of 4:21.47 in the same event to place 14th overall while Evan Wattie was 20th with a time of 4:23.75.  Marcus Homa (4:31.50), Jake Gogarty (4:33.75), and Connor Thomas (4:36.47) also competed for the Saints. 

In the women's one-mile event, senior Mattingly O'Rourke had a solid run of 5:05.24, beating her previous best of 5:05.58 that she ran in last year's John Thomas Terrier Classic. O'Rourke's time placed her 17th overall among a field of 98 competitors. Also finishing for the Saints in the Top-50 were Julianna Tourangeau (5:18.24) and Summer Reinoehl (5:24.86). 

In the men's 800-meter, senior Tyler Greene ran a 1:53.37 for sixth overall, besting his previous fastest time of 1:54.50 at the Bison Outdoor Classic in April of 2023. Luke Tkaczyk, who ran unattached, finished in 1:54.76. His brother Tyler Tkaczyk ran it in 1:56.39 for 19th while Ralston Frattarola closed in 2:00.28 while PJ Dauer clocked in 2:01.60. 

In the men's 3,000-meter invitational, junior Colin Brunelle pushed forward with a time of 8:23.19 for fifth overall. 

The time was better than five seconds off his previous best at the 2025 Fastrack National Invite, nearly one year to the day. 

Jake Passalugo ran the men's 5,000-meter Invitational in 15:09.86, good enough to place him sixth. Brody Santagata was 13th with a time of 15:34.17 and Michael Ryan placed 19th with a time of 15:51.79.

In the men's 5,000-meter college run, Ean Piaschyk finished in 16:22.97 for 14th overall. Max Decker clocked in at 8:53.57 in the men's 3,000-meter college run for a ninth-place finish.

On the women's side of the 3,000-meter college run, Marissa Navarra crossed the line in 11:04.70 followed by Olivia Schaffer (11:27.48) and Olivia Armenia (11:51.62).
