STATEN ISLAND, NY – Artie Burgess highlighted Rider's return to action as he was able to take home the 60m crown at the Wagner College Invitational. Burgess finished with a time of 6.79, almost breaking his PR of 6.78 which he set at Fastrack Season Opener in 2021. 

The Broncs also had strong performances by Tamrat Snyder (4:13.10) and Nathan Armstrong (4:19.41) who were able to pick up first and second respectively in the mile. Snyder would also be a part of the 4x400 team with Sekai Lyken, Jerome Boyer, and Derian Stianche that would win the relay. 

Jayden DuBard would also have a successful day winning the Men's Shot Put with a 15.71m mark.
