SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – The Kenyon College men's track and field team started the 2025-2026 season on Saturday afternoon, competing against a swath of teams across all NCAA divisions in the unscored Tiger Opener hosted by Wittenberg University.

The Owls logged several strong finishes for the day, highlighted by Josh Greville's record breaking performance in the 400. Greville circled the track in 49.45 seconds, which is a new Kenyon indoor record. The senior toppled the 50.97 mark set by Noah Winters in 2014. For the race, Greville took eighth out of 27.

Kenyon's best finishes of the day came in the field, with Zavier McGhee leading the charge with a fifth place mark in the triple jump, leaping 12.55 meters (41-2 ¼). The first year added an 11th place finish in the high jump, scoring a 1.80 meter (5-10 ¾) jump. Noah Bartlett took home sixth in the pole vault, where he cleared a 3.80 meter (12-5 ½) mark in a field of 13.

The long jump was perhaps the Owls' best event as a team, with three athletes logging top 15 finishes. Ezekiel Kiwanuka led the way with a 6.33 meter (20-9 ¼) jump to take tenth, as Greville leaped 6.12 meters (20-1) to finish just behind him. JT Casarico rounded out the trio with a 5.52 (18-1 ½) attempt.

Graham Yeager added a solid outing as well in the field, taking 13th in the shot put with a 11.89 meter (39-0 ¾) toss and backed it up with a 11.83 meter (38-9 ¾) 16th place finish in the weight throw.

On the track, Greville posted a 22.90 in the 200, slotting him into 16th place out of 49. Kashi Tomic was not far behind, clocking in at 24.01 and 25th place.

Backing up the distance, Matthew Yerger finished in 18th place in the 800 meter, finishing his two laps in 2:08.31.

Kenyon will be back in action in the new year on Saturday, January 17 for the Wooster Quad meet, starting at 11:00 a.m. from The College of Wooster.
