The Oswego State men`s and women`s track and field teams showed well at the Hamilton College Continental Invitational on Saturday. Several athletes won events setting career- and even school records along the way.

Baldwin and Wagenhauser then teamed with Damian Archie and Nick Reinsdorf in the 4x400-meter relay, finishing in 3:29.73 for the victory.
In the field for the men, Chris Bridgewater set a career-best mark in the long jump, leaping 6.56 meters, .20 better than any of his opponents.
On the women's side, Katie Bott shined in the 800, qualifying for ECACs with a time of 2:20.69, taking first in the effort. Marissa Pariseau also qualified for ECACs by setting a new school-record with a time of 1:20.94 in the 500.
