The Syracuse Orange track and field teams are preparing for next weekend’s ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Miami, but distance standouts Justyn Knight and Paige Stoner headed west to compete in the Payton Jordan Invitational. The duo tested themselves against a talented field of collegiate and professional runners late last night in Palo Alto.
Stoner demolished the Syracuse school outdoor 5k record with her time of 15:41.26. This was seven seconds faster than Sarah Pagano’s previous record as Stoner took 2nd place in her section of the event. Stoner’s time is the 11th fastest in the NCAA in the event this season as she’s put herself amont the top runners in the 5k and 3k steeple.
