EDINBORO — Traveling back to Edinboro University for the second weekend in a row, the Bradford boys indoor track team found several individual bests in the closing weeks of the season.

Enzo Aiello was the Owls’ top finisher, claiming fifth place in the pole vault with a height of 11’2”, his best recorded score yet. Brayden Frair and Kayden Tessena also had personal bests, both in the mile. Frair claimed ninth with a time of 4:42.55 while Tessena finished at 5:07.14.

“This was a good effort but we lost Brayden Frair due to an injury. He will have to sit out our last meet this weekend but should be ready for the opening of our outdoor season on March 4,” said Bradford head coach Tom Tessena. “We also should be getting one of our top sprinters and hurdlers back by then, Logan Kohler was injured in the second meet of the season after setting two class records in the 60M and 60m High hurdles.”
