Saints Close MAAC Track & Field Championships on Strong Note

Siena Runs for Six Season-Best Times; one Personal-Best on Final Day of Competition

EMMITSBURG, MD – The Siena Track Teams closed out their 2026 season on a high note with six season-best times and added another personal-best time on Sunday during the second and final day of the MAAC Track and Field Championships hosted by Mount St. Mary's at Morgan Track.

The Siena Men scored 27 points for a ninth-place finish while the Siena Women accrued eight points and finished in a tie for ninth place in the team standings despite competing in only a handful of events. 

Senior Mattingly O'Rourke lowered her time in the women's 800-meter to a personal-best time of 2:12.47 to finish in fourth. It marked the third fastest time in program history. She had run the top qualifying time at 2:15.09 on Saturday. 

In the men's 1,500-meter, senior Tyler Greene took off better than eight and a half seconds off his preliminary time with a final showing of 3:51.87 for fourth place. Fifth-year Luke Tkaczyk clocked in at 3:54.33 for seventh place. Freshman Austin Ferrin crossed in 3:55.80 for an eighth-place spot to give points in the team standings from all three competitors. 

The men's 4x800-meter that featured Greene, Ferrin, Luke Tkaczyk and Jackson Cayward finished in 7:43.77. Their seed time was 8:11.59. The performance earned them a fourth-place finish and was also a season best. 

"The men's 4x8 got started in great position by Jackson, coming off his 10k PR last night," said third-year Siena head track coach Elizabeth DeBole.

"Austin [Ferrin] ran really strong to move us up. Luke [Tkaczyk] ran the best last 150 meters of his Siena career to hand off to Tyler Greene. Tyler ran so strong and leaned at the line. It was three teams and we were in the middle, so ended up fourth—just off the podium."

The women's 4x4 team that consisted of Sara Fitzgerald, Delaney Spalthoff, Avery Kozerski and Cameron Sisk put forth a season-best time of 4:07.15. It was the fifth fastest time in program history. It was good to earn two points and a seventh-place position.

Sisk and Kozerski completed the rarer feat of competing in two relay races. 

The men's 4x4 team that comprised of Ralston Frattarola, PJ Dauer, Behn Thomas and Marcus Homa completed a season-best 3:31.35 for a ninth-place finish after a seed time of 3:34.04.  

In the men's 5,000-meter, the Saints had six who qualified to compete. Freshman Max Decker pulled the top time among the Saints with a mark of 15:28.34 and was 12th overall. Evan Wattie placed 14th with a time of 15:32.27.
