Canisius runners kick off season with big results

Canisius track athletes wasted no time making their mark at the AI Campbell Invitational in Akron, with senior Kyle Urban and Nathaniel Fisher grabbing second and third in the men’s 3000m. The Griffs packed five runners into the top 15 for that event, showing off serious depth right out of the gate. Freshman Jaxyn Mahoney also impressed in the 800m, and the women’s team saw solid performances from Clara Sundberg and Ella Krumpek. With this kind of momentum, it’ll be exciting to see how the team builds on these results at the SPIRE Midwest Open. What’s your take on this strong season start? #Sports #Canisius #TrackAndField
