Complete results
PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Nazareth's 4 x 800-meter relay team turned in a fourth-place finish to highlight the second day of competition at the All-Atlantic Region Track and Field Championships at St. John Fisher's Polisseni Track and Field Complex.

Nazareth totaled 10 team points to finish in 25th place. Brockport took the team title with 84 points.

In the relay, Nazareth's foursome of Patrick Healy, Lucas Sharron, Nathan McNally and Josh Tomaka ran a time of 8:05.53 to gain five team points. Tomaka ran an anchor leg of 1:59.95.

Sophomores Kaleb Luton and Connor McCauslin also competed in the 110-meter hurdles and finished fifth and eighth respectively. Luton had a time of :14.95, while McCauslin was clocked in :15.18.
 
In the women's competition, junior Brenna Johnson, taking advantage perhaps of unseasonably tropical temperatures, leaped to a third-place finish in the long jump to lead the Golden Flyers.

Johnson recorded a personal-best leap of 5.76 meters (18 feet, 10 3/4 inches) to earn six team points for the Golden Flyers, who finished in 19th place with 10 team points. Geneseo won the team title with 149 points. Ithaca (95) was a distant second and Brockport (70) finished third. Thirty-four schools had athletes competing.

Johnson tentatively qualified for next week's NCAA Division III Championship meet at Greensboro, N.C. With a couple more regional meets still to be contested around the country, Johnson's jump ranks among the top 10 nationally. She was just a half inch shy of Nazareth's school record of 18 feet, 11 1/4 inches, set by Aly Eaton in 2018.

"It was an ideal day for long jumping," said Nazareth Coach James Goss. "What makes her performance more impressive is that she's only been jumping for about three weeks."

During the long jump competition, Johnson exceeded 18 feet on three of her six jumps with the third-place leap coming on her fifth attempt. Johnson also competed in the 200-meter dash and finished in 18th place with a time of :26.33.

Other Nazareth competitors on Thursday included senior Abbey Szumloz, who finished eighth in the 400-meter hurdles (1:06.59) to earn one team point. Junior Gabrielle Pighetti finished 12th in the shot put with a distance of 10.74 meters (35 feet, 3 inches) and junior Elizabeth Decker was 13th in the 800-meter run (2:23.22).
