Mitch Loiacano (Lockport/Lockport) was third in the 800 meters in 2:00.50. Chase Towse (East Northport/Northport) finished eighth.
Ethan Francis (Dunkirk/Dunkirk) was the first collegian -- third overall -- in the 3,000 meters with a tie of 8:55.42.
Nick Serafin (Depew/Depew) finished fourth in the high jump with a clearance of 6 feet, 2 1/4 inches (1.89 meters).
In the mile, senior Merlin Joseph Jr. (Binghamton) shaved fractions off his personal-best with a sixth-place 4:27.28. His previous-best time was 4:27.75 last Friday at RIT.
Fredonia finished third in the 4-by-400 meter relay with the quartet of Michael Salvati (Avon/Avon), Loiacano, Derek Sunderland (Owego/Owego), and Towse.
