BOSTON ā For the third time in as many weeks, Rutgers track and field closed out competition with a school record as Stephen Kyvelos set the top time in the 3,000-meter at the Scarlet and White Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 24. The Scarlet Knights turned in a total of eight performances on the school's top-10 all-time list at the Track & Tennis Center on the Boston University campus.

"Great to get out on the road for the first time and compete," said Bobby Farrell, director of track & field and cross country. "We had some very strong performances. The team has positive energy right now and they're taking advantage of the opportunities."

Kyvelos ran a time of 8:04.09 to etch his name in the Rutgers record books.
